1 T vanilla
1 medium apple, chopped fairly fine
1/2 cup chopped pecans(optional)

Val these sound great! When you mention 1/2 cup of liquid/syrups, are you speaking of the "Davinci" type s/f syrups? If so, i'll bet the cinnamon or hazelnut would be great!

I'm going to give these a try...i'm a bit bored with my usual b/fast!

Yes you can use the "Davinci" type s/f syrups. I used just water and put a little extra cinnamon and nutmeg. They're very flavorful.

Davinci makes a cinnamon flavored syrup? I haven't seen this one on the supermarket shelves.

I ordered it from their website, as I haven't seen them in our local supermarkets. Torani also has some good s/f syrups as well. We have a "World Mkt" in town that carries these.

Thank you!! I'm going to make some RIGHT NOW! I actually have all the ingredients (I'll use water instead of syrup). I'll let you know how mine turn out.

Val,

These are delicious! They came out absolutely perfect and I've only eaten one so far (good for me). I put a little cream cheese on some of it (I've gone crazy over whipped cream cheese lately). I put ground flax on my spinach salads all the time and love the nutty flavor. This is the first time I have cooked with it. The only thing I did differently was used 12 spenda packets because I don't have any other splenda . . . and I cooked a total of 23 minutes.

Delicious -- thanks again.

I'm going now to get my 4th batch out of the oven. Hubby loves them too.

I doubled the recipe, put it in a bundt pan, and made a delicious birthday cake for my recently diagnosed diabetic brother. It was a huge hit with everyone at the party!

I just made these. They're really good! I think next time I might omit the nutmeg, though. I kinda just like nutmeg in pumpkin pie, I think.

My only problem was that they really stuck to the muffin pan, even though I used a LOT of Pam. Do they work with muffin papers, or do they stick too much?

I really liked these and will definitely make them again! The only change I made was to substitute unsweetened applesauce for the oil, but they turned out fine. Best part- no boluses needed :)

I haven't tried them with muffin papers. I used a non stick muffin tin and Pam. They didn't stick.

Mine was non-stick too, and I used a ton of Pam. Hmm....I wonder what I did differently. :confused:
