My crew loved them. We scooped out the center with a pepper corer and filled them with light whipped cream.

I have to agree with the person before me, do not expect the same taste as a deep fried donut but these are so yummy. I love them and will make them again!!!! I may just eat then all by myself.

I made these today with my 10 year old son. We loved them! Better than traditional long johns in our opinion. The only reason I gave it 4/5 stars was because the picture was a little deceiving. Using the size loaf pans requested in the recipe, it is impossible to get 8 (the stated number of servings for this recipe) the size of the long john in the picture. They ended up about half that tall. In short, don't expect that size long john shown in the picture for the 291 calories stated in the nutrition facts.

These taste like a light and airy muffin with chocolate glaze on top. They definitely taste lower fat than any fried pastry would. I'd take the doughnut equivalent anyday. These are still good, but you need to make it knowing that it will taste like a muffin, and one that's not that great without the chocolate on top.
