  • Sounds yummy! I'm going to have to add this to the menu soon.
  • Oh wow, I baked them this morning and they are lethal! Yummy! I've already had 2!

    I wanted to make them whole grain so I subbed 1/2 cup of the ww flour for wheat bran, golden flax meal and oatmeal to equal 1/2 cup. I used granular stevia instead of splenda and I didn't have ricotta so just skipped the topping.
