SO HOW'D IT GO?
These were really good, but i was worried about the amount of fat, i used less oil. I also used vanilla soygurt instead of applesauce. but they turned out amazing!
This recipe is a keeper!
Im not sure what the surprise is, but it's probably how delicious these are ;)
I was a little freaked out about the cup of oil and the cup of margarine, so i replaced the oil and applesauce with mashed banana.. It makes these really fruity and REALLY nice :)
Also, I cant get ahold of wheaties where i am, so I used a cereal called wheetabix that is like crushed wheaties formed into little bars, sorta similar to what shredded wheat is like.. it worked just fine.. I took a bite of a cookie and then took it to my husband to taste.. i said here, take a bite of this and taste it.. he never gave me back my cookie! haha.. now it lives in his stomach ;)
