These are soo good! I used pecans instead (that's all i had) and they turned out amazing! I thought these might really sugary, but they were perfect! definitely getting a repeat performance!

So glad you enjoyed them, Erika. I did too. I actually had almonds around (must have been leftover from some other recipe) and they were nice with almonds too. I'll try with the pecan now though, too!

So, I have repeated the recipe twice since, and have used french vanilla and lemon meringue yogurts each time. Have to say I prefer these over the plain, as they add a boost of flavour. I think I might try peach next time...

Great idea, Erika. I will try that myself next time I make them.

Hi, thanks for this great recipe! I used all whole flour and reduced it by 1/3 of a cup. They did not come out really heavy. I was very pleased. I substituted 1/2 cup apple sauce for the brown sugar to add more vitamin C and fiber. I also added about a tablespoon of wheat germ to up the nutritional value. I also added almond extract. We enjoyed them a lot!

Glad they worked out so well for you, Erica. I like that addition of almond extract, too!
