    Just baked these. I only but 1/4 cup of sugar, replaced the half cup with splenda and added some ground flax seed in place of the oil. They turned out excellent. I will bake these all the time. - 5/12/09

    Made this recipe for a Labor Day cookout. Very light and moist cupcakes, and they were a big hit! I paired them with a vanilla-peach vodka frosting - highly recommend this combination. - 9/7/15
