I did do the butter-applesauce combo since we're watching Tom's cholesterol. I can see how it would be better with all butter, but my family is none the wiser. I also added nuts and flax seed.
My assessment: quick and easy--although it put me up a little earlier than normal to get the 40 minute bake time by 6:45. But everyone liked it, except one child and I think that had more to do with the slow, hard morning than the meal. Tessa ate it and asked if I would save the leftovers for her. (That's saying something in her book!) I thought it was good, not stellar, but something I'll make again especially since it got pretty good reviews with everyone. In the original recipe she likened them to oatmeal cookies---I thought it was more similar to a cake, texture wise at least. Also, I don't think I'll add nuts next time, while they were okay, I'll save them for a recipe they'll really be enjoyed in.
