This sounds delicious (and as you say, almost healthy with the oatmeal & wholewheat flour & unrefined sugars...) Fascinated by the waiting time - you must have a lot of self-control!

The Parkin looks so very lush too, I feel the need to bake today.fleurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08654902981574176170noreply@blogger.com
