I just found this recipe and ended up making it twice in one week because we liked it so much.

Rebecca, I’m so glad you liked them! Sometimes it’s just me eating stuff because I can come up with some wacky experiments.

These are SO GOOD!! I made them yesterday in my crazy cooking weekend, and they are awesome. I used rapadura instead of the 2 sugars. I wonder if it will pass the beet-hating-husband test, but I think they will.

Hi Sara,

not silly at all but evaporated cane juice is organic sugar made from sugar cane vs beets which are almost all genetically modified and highly refined so it no longer resembles beets. At least sugar cane contains trace minerals and is less refined is why I use it. I think some molasses would be good in here – I was thinking of playing around with it nad turning it into more of a gingerbread for the holidays!

Okay, so I know this probably sounds silly…I have evaporated cane juice in sugar form (not liquid), is that what the recipe calls for? I do also have Molasses, if that would work.

You can certainly use cinamon instead of the cardamom. I know my kids prefer that but I was mixing it up last night. Probably how I forgot the sugar – so focused on if cardamom would work in here!

Yeow – when you make them be sure you remember the sugar and apple. In my sleep deprived state last night I forgot the sugar and no one would eat them! The chickens are loving them though.
