Recipe ingredients

I wanted to make the Pumpkin No-Fat Muffins but 12 tsps. pumpkin pie spice and 1 1/2 cups of Stevia look like a misprint to me. Do you really add that much spice and Stevia for flavor? I want it to taste good and I wanted to make different muffins for my menu.

The recipe calls for 1 1/2 cups of inulin or xylitol (same sweetness as sugar)
OR
1/4 cup Stevia (Since its VERY sweet).
It sounds like a pretty big batch of muffins so the 12tsp of pumpkin spice may be correct (Although it sounds like a lot)

I think the 12 Tbsp of spice has got to be a misprint!!! The 1 1/2 cupsa cups of Stevia could be correct if using the powdery white Stevia.

xylitol counts as carbs, so be careful. Stevia and monkfruit are the only two acceptable substitutions without having to count it something!

I’ve found I am allergic to Stevia. Can I substitute honey or blackstrap molasses?

Hi, AnnePenny. Sure – just note that those alternatives do contain some sugar and so add up. If you have more than a couple of teaspoons per day, please do repost, and I’ll work with you on adding them to your day without giving up on results.
