This is good warm. They are not too sweet but taste fine. My boys (ages 3 & 6) enjoyed them as well.

I loved this! Made it for Thanksgiving...it was perfect because it wasn't killer-sweet and was also relatively healthy. It was fabulous in the morning for a nice breakfast as well! Thank you!!!

This is low in fat, low in sugar and has just the right amount of spices. It made a delicious quick dessert for tonight. Instead of the individual spices, I used my Baking Spice Blend Mix Baking Spice Blend Mix.

To be able to have a dessert that can have a touch of holidays is great. I always think of X-mas when I have ginger..anything! This will become a regular for that time of the year. AND we all know how calorie-laden all the treats are at that time of the year and now we have an alternative. I do recommend seeing to it that your spices are not too old or they will not shine through and the flavor will be lacking.I will be making this again, and, I think I will add some raisins too. Thanks, kind lady, for posting this jewel.
