The name says it all here as this is a defnite yummy recipe for diabetics. Not a sweet muffin in the least and since I'm not a diabetic, I will increase the amount of splenda next time. I also felt the orange zest didn't come thru real strongly. Maybe if a bit of o.j. was added for the liquid part the orange would shine thru. I also used 1 full egg. Very moist. Thanks Annacia for a lovely breakfast treat~
