    I had to reduce the calories in this recipe. It was just to high for me because I can't do somethng like this in moderation. I used half wheat flour, 2 tbsp Truvia baking blend instead of sugar, skim milk for the butter milk , 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips, reduce fat PB and 2 egg white's. luv it! - 11/10/12

    Great! Made changes because I needed lower calories and portion control. Swapped out buttermilk for almond milk, Sugar for Splenda, used an egg (didn't have egg eaters on hand) and instead of peanut butter I used peanut powder. I forgot to add the butter and they were still great! I baked them in m - 3/20/16
