Introduction

Came up with these when I was looking for a recipe to use some of my rhubarb. Modified a recipe I found quite a bit and made it much lighter and healthier than the previous version. My kids went nuts over these and ate quite a few! Enjoy! Came up with these when I was looking for a recipe to use some of my rhubarb.

    Very Good
    A nice flexible recipe. My apple sauce was sweetened so I reduced the sugar to 2/3 cup. I didn't have sour cream so used half the oil required and used 1/4 cup of buttermilk instead of sour cream. I didn't want the crumbly top so omitted the 1/4 cup of brown sugar and added pecans to the batter. - 4/2/15
