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.
These muffins are quick and easy to make and so rewarding. Light and sweet, the lemon is bright and flavorful with the nutty taste of the poppy seeds. The perfect breakfast with 10% of the fiber you need for the day.
