These ALL sound so wonderful! And here's a tip for everyone, if you want to make your treat even healthier, replace all or some of the flour with whole wheat pastry flour.

the recipe is great. to cut down on calories a bit more i used wheat flour and i cut the sugar down a tad, used 1/2 cup of applesauce instead of oil, and added a 1/2 teaspoon of molasses, 1/4 tsp of vanilla, and a dash of ginger to the mix. it tastes great.

for the topping i used low cal margarine and added a bit of vanilla as well. it too, taste great.

thanks for a good recipe.
