Ingredients

3 whole Large Eggs1 cup *Smart Balance Omega Oil2 cups *Splenda (sugar substitute of choice)1 cup Granulated Sugar1 cup Brown Sugar29 oz + 15 oz cans of *Libby's PumpkinZest of 1 Naval orange, finely chopped1 1/3 cup Orange Juice (any variety)2 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract3 cups Whole Wheat flour2 cups Unbleached flour1 cup Ground Flax Meal4 tsp Salt4 tsp Baking Soda2 tsp Baking powder2 tsp Nutmeg2 tsp Cinnamon1 tsp Ground Cloves

Directions

*Preheat oven to *350. Line and spray 4- 12 serving muffin tins with muffin cups. Next combine all dry ingredients, flours, flax meal, salt, baking soda and powder, cinnamon, cloves, and allspice. Then beat eggs with oil on low speed, add sugars and Splenda, then orange zest and pumkin, next orange juice and vanilla.
After all wet ingredients are well blended, slowly fold in dry mix, 1/4 at a time, folding then mixing on low until its completely added. DO Not over mix, as muffins may become rubbery. Mixture will resemble brownie thickness, as it is very moist. Spoon into muffin tins about 3/4 full of the cup.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, depending on altitude and humidity.

You can always half the recipe, but since I have such a large family, making 12-24 muffins makes no sense; they'd all be gone the same night! To make them sweeter, substitute regular sugar and brown sugar for Splenda cup for cup.

Easy Zucchini Parmesan

This quick and healthy side dish takes just minutes to prepare! And as a bonus, it's an easy way to get the kids to eat their vegetables. (And if you don't like using butter spray, you could melt a few pats of butter and brush the butter on with a pastry brush - whatever your preference!)Submitted by: MATCM81
