This recipe came from one of my Splenda cookbooks. I wanted to make something sweet, & just so happen to have all of the ingredients I needed without having to go to the store. I love it when a plan comes together with little or no effort. You get the volumn in these muffins because of the addition of nonfat dry milk powder & 1/4 cup of sugar. They are quite tasty, and I added lemon extract in addition to the vanilla. These muffins are low in sugar, but not SUGAR FREE & QUITE TASTY. Recipe makes 18 muffins, but I used the professional size muffin tins for larger muffins and got 12 large ones.
