    I'm going to try these but i'm going to make them healthier, i'll post how they turn out, shortnening, (maybe applesauce or bananas)...and sugar substitute (maybe honey or stevia) in order for sure cause that stuff is pure poison..as well as whole grain flour....it's gonna be a challenge, but I like the idea of the flax, wheat germ and soy milk, they do sound yummy.

    Cool. If you are going to go w/whole wheat you might have to add more moisture (agave or honey maybe, or just more water?) to get the same consistency. Good luck.

    We ended up replacing the flour with stone ground whole grain, added 1 tablespoon of applesauce and 1 ripened banana, swapped out the sugar for honey, but we (my daughter and I,) put in wayyyyyy too much..lol, a little will go a long way, they were super moist, I think because of the banana..next batch easing up on the honey...but you had a great idea about agave..gonna try that tonight instead.
