Blueberry Muffins (With Splenda)

Derf's Note:

These muffins are very good!! (I find Splenda fine to cook with but sweeter than what we are used to, so I usually cut the quantity back to our taste, sometimes a quarter less, sometimes in half.)

Great recipe. I followed it exactly and I didn't find it too sweet. I am going out of town tomorrow to stay with family and will be making another batch to take wtih me because I know that they will all enjoy it. Thanks for posting this.

I nixed the honey and milk and used the full cup of splenda and subbed water. I used stone ground wheat flour (which made this batch so much better) and did half blueberries half apples because I didn't have enough blueberries. added cinnamon, and subbed low sodium salt (i shoulda used more salt than what I did... I love salt and don't usually use the low sodium stuff) i only used 6tbsp of butter to save 70 calories for the total batch calorie count. Wound up totaling 45 calories each- 15 muffins. They were pretty good. My little boy tore em up

Yum! This recipe isn't anything new or fancy or uber-fantastic, but the muffins are definitely very good. I really like the use of honey in these. I added some raspberries to my muffins as a little addition, which I do not regret one bit. I substituted all of the margarine for applesauce as well, and they came out very very yummy.
