"One should always eat muffins quite calmly. It is the only way to eat them."
-Oscar Wilde, Playwright
These muffins can be made with stevia instead of Splenda. Use 12 packets of Truvia brand for each 1/2 cup of Splenda. Z Sweet brand measures like sugar so you will need 1/2 cup of that product.
A great healthy breakfast muffin, this one. Delicious and light with a sweet carrot and cinnamon flavor. All of that with 3 grams of fiber and only three grams of fat. Toast lightly and serve with a tablespoon of light cream cheese -- heaven!

This recipe can easily be multiplied. Muffins will keep for 24 - 36 hours in a plastic bag. Reheat gently. These freeze fairly well if sealed tightly in a plastic bag.
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Separate the egg into an egg white and egg yolk. Set the egg yolk aside and whisk the egg white until frothy. Add the canola oil and whisk together until smooth. Add the Z-Sweet or SplendaŽ, egg yolk, yogurt and vanilla extract.
Whisk until smooth.
Place the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg in a sifter and sift into the mixing bowl. Sprinkle the flakes of oatmeal over the top.
Gently fold the creamed mixture together with the flour and oatmeal mixture. As this is blended slowly add the shredded carrots.
Just as the carrots are blended in add buttermilk until smooth. As soon as the mixture is well blended, stop.
Line a muffin tin with muffin papers and fill each muffin paper with an equal amount of batter. Bake for 12 - 15 minutes.
