I'm not so keen on this brown sugar splenda due to it's unnatural state, but I had it so I used it. I may use honey next time. We call ourselves flexatarians, but I looked up "Paleo" and I'm liking it. Hunting and gathering. I'm on a different plan each week - the only consistent part of the plan is the continuing effort to use lots of fruits and veggies; your recipe fit right in.

In fact it IS crumble topping. :)<br /><br />Astri - what is brown sugar splenda? It sounds almost like a contradiction in terms... I often use rice flour instead of wheat in my topping. And your dad is so right about butter and cream!<br /><br />Laura - I'm a dark brown sugar freak too. There is no white sugar in our house (except for confectioner's).

You are so right, streusel dresses up all kinds of things!! <br /><br />I'm addicted to brown sugar (dark!) too, so any way that I can us it in something is good with me!!<br /><br />Oh!! With my successes of TWO batches of One Hour Cinnamon Rolls I am at this moment trying my hand at French Bread! I've wanted to do this for years...decades!!...but have always been too scared. My new found bravery, thanks to you, is every exciting!!! :)~ Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10703471625303036611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366775845290776474.post-25896278043030097782011-10-29T13:26:40.262-05:002011-10-29T13:26:40.262-05:00Thank you, thank you, thank you for the idea!

Almond flour and brown sugar splenda...real butter though - there's no subsitute for that! My father, a master baker from Norway, would say over and over again "ALWAYS use real butter and real cream."
