I made too many subs to list but they came out amazing, just the right amount of sweetness for a breakfast muffin. Just one little note, the recipe calls for 1.75 cups flour but when I was doing the makeover for my subs I found the flour on the list said 1.25 cups. Might skew the nutrition info abit - 9/28/11
