Make this lactose and wheat free with the following substitutions: 1/2 c. soy milk instead of milk; 1 c. spelt flour and an additional cup of oatmeal instead of the wheat flour. I also cut the sugar to 1/2 c. and it was still nice and sweet. I also add a teaspoon of vanilla extract. Yummy....01/29/10
