Kellogg's Original All-Bran® Muffins recipe was the springboard for these
muffins. They are really delicious and surprisingly healthy.

-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/4 Cups Whole-wheat Flour
1/4 Cup Splenda

1/2 Teaspoon Salt
2 Teaspoons Mixed Spice

You had me until I got to the mustard and cayenne. Probably tastes
better than it sounds.

I just made your fabulous gingerbread for the first time. Not only
did I not cool, frost, and age the cake, I ate it hot out of the pan.
Lucky for me, Crash doesn't like it! Whoo-hoo!

LOL! I doubt you'd actually know they're in there, but they do add a
certain je ne sais quoi. :-)

Wayne,

Sounds doable. I thinking I'd skip the splenda and orange extract and add
a couple shots of Grand Marnier instead. Figure that and the molasses and
raisins would account for the sweetness. As you make it, how many grams
of sugar in your muffins?

I didn't have any Grand Marnier, Andy, but it sounds like a good idea. The
nutritional breakdown shows 31 grams of carbohydrates. The original recipe
called for 1/2 cup sugar, no molasses, and no Splenda. I wanted the
molasses for flavor and, obviously, wanted to eliminate the sugar by using
the Splenda. Better for my Weight Watchers program. I took a batch of
these to work last week and they didn't last 5 minutes. :-)
