Introduction

The original recipe is from the Allrecipes website, submitted by Tiffany Rogers. I substituted 3/4 C. of pureed white beans for the shortening called for in the original recipe: this reduces calories & fat, and adds fiber plus extra nutrition from the beans. I also used 50/50 whole wheat and white flour. The original recipe is from the Allrecipes website, submitted by Tiffany Rogers.
