I purchased Bob's Red Mill Apple/Bran Muffins that are stone ground whole grain. My husband is diabetic, so I can't use molasses or honey in my cooking. I'm also on a low glycemic (sugar busters) food plan. My recipe calls for a 1/2 cup of molasses or honey. Is there a way I can use Splenda instead?

Please help. I'm new to baking and don't know the conversions.

Thanks.

Hi ROSEANN,

You may want to post your question on our SB WEEKLY SUPPORT BOARD where we congregate mostly, so more people can answer your question. I personally don't like Splenda, so I can't answer you, but if you are able to find AGAVE SYRUP, that's a wonderful substitute to honey and sugar and totally SB LEGAL and it's low GI as well.

Thanks for the tip on Agave Syrup. I never heard of it before. I'll look into it. (By the way, I did use about 12 packets of Splenda). The muffins tasted pretty good, but a little dry. I might try no-sugar added applesauce - or now that I know about it - agave syrup (if I can find it).

Thanks again.
