I love this recipe and after making it dozens of times now, I have been able to tweak it to make it a bit more healthy. Here is what I change - I use whole wheat flour in place of all purpose (adds a little fiber). Reduce brown sugar to 1/2 C. Reduce the veg oil to 1/4 C. Reduce honey to 1/4 C. Add 1/4 C flax seed. Add one large ripe banana, mashed. Add 1/3 C applesauce (I use the all natural Motts, no sugar added). I always omit the raisins because my son doesn't care for raisins, but I increase the cinnamon a bit (to taste) and add chopped dried apple. Even without the dried apple, they are good. Occasionally, I will omit the cinn. and apple, and add about 1/3 cup mini-chips (not quite as healthy, but delicious!). I also bake them in a mini-muffin pan so they are pre-portioned. Bake for 18 minutes. Makes 24. I forgot to add that my 1 and 2 year olds LOVE these. Before my daughter turned one I substituted pure maple syrup for the honey. My two year old asks for them all day every day! My husband eats them daily as well. I make them at least once a week.
