Author Notes

This recipe was modified from my mother to make it not only delicious but also nutritious. Including ingredients such as flax, wheat germ, whole grain flour and vanilla improve quality without the sacrificing taste! From a registered dietitian nutritionist and mom, I hope you enjoy this as much as our family does! My children thought it tasted so good that I should enter it in a contest...so I did here! —Erica M.

  2. In a separate medium sized bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, flax, wheat germ, walnuts (I grind them in a mini food processor, but you could also leave them chopped if preferred), baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
