Sugar Free Muffins

We have been experimenting with sugar free bakery items and have discovered that we get much better results altering a regular recipe than trying to make from a "sugar free recipe".

We have found these muffins to be delicious! We got the recipe from our old Better Homes and Garden cookbook and just substitute Equal (we like this MUCH better than Splenda - not so much aftertaste) for the sugar.

You can add just about anything that you like - bananas and cinnamon, walnuts and maple flavoring, cranberry with orange zest, poppyseeds - the combos are endless. This time we chose to add raspberry extract and fresh strawberries - YUMMY!


Best Ever Muffins:
1-1/2 cups flour
1/4 cup sweetener (we use Equal) - you can also add a couple squeezes of honey in addition
1 egg
1/3 cup oil
2-1/2 tsps baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup milk (I sometimes substitute with 1/4 cup sour cream and 1/2 cup milk)
Mix all ingredients together and then add the flour and any extras you want!
Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes. Makes 5 jumbo muffins.
Enjoy! We hope you like as much as we do.
