SO HOW'D IT GO?
Mine are baking in the oven right now. However, I made a few mods due to absence of ingredients. I increased the applesauce to 1/2 C to make up for the missing half banana, and since I didn't have allspice I used 1/8 t nutmeg, 1/8 t cinnamon. Also, instead of pureeing the zucchini, I shredded it finely. Not only that, but since vegellicious mentioned his/hers was gummy, I added 1/2 T ground flax seeds mixed with 1.5 T water. However, they could have been gummy due to not being baked enough. I'm trying a longer cook time. Oh, I also added a splash of lemon juice and subbed almond extract for vanilla because that is what I prefer. Great base for a recipe though! I am very excited and can not wait for them to come out of the oven!
