Return to April Recipe Index
Nancy, here is a recipe I've made recently that I really
love. It is from the back of a Splenda box and was so
delicious. I followed the recipe except when I combined the
dry ingredients I added 1 c. dry milk and 1/2 tsp baking
powder (in additions to what the recipe calls for) as extra
ingredients, that is recommended by Splenda to help the
baked goods rise. When everything was assembled I took my
ice cream scoop and scooped the dough, it was thick into the
muffin cups, filled them full. I baked them at 425-450 for
about 7 minutes then I turned the heat back 400 and baked
for the rest of the time (until toothpick comes out clean).
My gosh they were so good and moist plus they really peaked.
I think I may have used low fat buttermilk since I like it
instead of regular milk for anything I bake, if you use you
man need extra as it is thicker than regular milk. They
looked beautiful. I haven't tried other fruit but don't see
why it wouldn't work. I want to try their cupcakes soon too
but I am gonna make a strawberry bread recipe first. Will
let you know how that works out when I try it.
Splenda Blueberry Muffins
http://splenda.tastebook.com/
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup light margarine, softened (I used real butter as
that was what I had)
1 cup SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener, Granulated
1/4 cup honey (did not use as I had none on hand)
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup 1% low-fat milk
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries, thawed (I did not thaw
mine)
Place oven rack in top 1/3 of oven. Preheat oven to 400
degrees F. Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners. Lightly
spray liners with nonstick cooking spray. Sift together
flour, baking powder, and salt, set aside. Beat margarine at
medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually
add SPLENDA® Granulated Sweetener and honey beating until
light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time beating until
blended after each addition. Stir in vanilla. Alternately
add flour mixture and milk, beginning and ending with flour
mixture. Beat at low speed until blended after each
addition. Fold in berries. Spoon batter evenly into paper
lined muffin cups. Bake 20 to 22 minutes or until golden.
Remove from pan immediately, and cool on wire rack.
Serves: 12
