I switched to wholemeal flour and added an extra egg, came out perfect! Have made them with drained canned cherries, cinnamon and coconut; also have found them brilliant for making use of the way too many feijoas coming off our trees. (A little crystallised ginger is good with feijoas). I also sprinkle the tops with toasted muesli and/or pumpkin seeds instead of the crumble mix. Since finding this recipe we haven't bought any biscuits or other baked goods :D
