This looks so yummy, going to have to try it..Thanks!!
A little extra work but very good-moist.
I’ve made this 3 times and it’s everybody’s favorite. Best AFB recipe I’ve ever made. A definate keeper!
I made these into muffins but I didn’t use pecans and….it was alot of work, when you have to pour half, add struesel, then pour more batter! But they were well worth it! My daughter gave some to friends and her teacher and everyone raved! A must try! (i took pictures, but having camera problems, will upload if/when I fix it)
Thanks for the photo, Aracely. We’ve added it in the image gallery!
