Review/Suggestions:

  • After reading the one review that comes up on the same page with the recipe, I also went with white whole-wheat flour.
  • Because I used the Splenda blend, I only used 2 Tablespoons.
  • I was happy to find a recipe that was fairly low in carbs for the serving size!
  • Definitely making this my "tried and true" recipe
