Mmmmmm, These are marvelous muffins Dreamer. I had just a cup of fat free vanilla yogurt left so I used that up. Other than the yogurt I made these with 2 cups of whole wheat flour and a 1/2 cup of unbleached. For the sugar I used 1/2 the amount ask of Splenda Brown Blend, 1/3 cup of oil and used just Splenda and cinnamon on top. Even with my diabetic cut backs they are moist, light textured and delicious. What more could you ask? :D
