The original recipe as it appeared on the web did not indicate when to add water. Since the batter, without water, looked like regular cake batter, I omitted it. Waiting for the results. Probably won't get any more recipes from this site.

plus they keep promoting healthy recipes with no nutritional information which raises a red flag for me and doesnt let me accurately update my food dairy or know how many grams of protein, carbs, fat, sugar etc Im getting. I think Im also done with the HuffPo food sections. Same as the recipes they link to other sites - the third party sites also provide no nutritional information on their so called healthy recipes.

Am I missing something? The water is mixed in with everything else in the small bowl...
And I always hated it when recipes would have nutrition info with them. Each brand of, say, yogurt or chocolate or what have you will have somewhat different ingredients, so different nutrition information. It isn't difficult to track it myself as I add each item in a recipe, so whenever a food article states "100 calories per serving" I always see if the reality ends up being even close to that. More times than not, it isn't.
