The ginger itself is never entirely lost, but it is more mellow. Additionally, there might be something to be said about the moistness of the cakes, but I don't know that this has anything to do with the ginger but the nature of the other dry and liquid ingredients.<BR/><BR/>This is a wonderful post, and I, too, am glad for your healthy perspective on the broonie - sure there is sugar, but the oats are enough to convince one that this baked goodie is healthy.Shaunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345640038135299538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-32220555055496395912008-04-10T21:53:00.000+10:002008-04-10T21:53:00.000+10:00Ummm that richer aspect your plates have all, ench...Ummm that richer aspect your plates have all, enchants your blog to me.
