Notes
This will seem like a really thick batter but trust me that is what makes this so dense and delicious!AND this microwaved to be nice and warm the next day is even more delicious!UPDATE: A reader let me know she used brown sugar instead of maple syrup and it still turned out good, I have not personally tried it but I wanted to make a note of that.
