Reviews
I have made this recipe several times. It’s always been delicious! I substituted pineapple juice for fresh orange because I didn’t have oranges on hand and wasn’t sure if the acidity in store-bought would be sufficient to activate the baking soda. It’s especially good with chocolate chips instead of raisins. Thanks for a delicious low-cholesterol snack!
really good
