Instead, I adore that Splenda No Calorie Sweetener can be used as part of a healthy diet, as anywhere that you love sugar, you'll love the way that Splenda no-calorie, non-carbohydrate sweetener can step in instead!
Plus, if you're anything like me, you're excited that Splenda has made it even easier to substitute their sweetener for sugar in all sorts of ways at 365SweetSwaps.com. Ideas, tips, recipes and more that help save calories from added sugar all year long!
While I've gotten inspired in a number of ways from the 365 Sweet Swaps page, it was just as easy to get lost (and hungry) browsing the huge number of recipes offered on Splenda.com.
With options like these (plus many more), why wouldn't I make the smart and delicious choice to reduce the added sugar and calories in my kitchen by using Splenda Sweetener Products?
Yum!
Thanks to the great collection of products that Splenda sent over to revamp my kitchen and reduce our calories...
...I was prepared to reach for just about any tasty recipe in my repertoire to try swapping out the sugar for these great sweeteners.
Even better, Splenda has a full page of measurement charts that make it extremely easy to know that you're using the right amount of their products. One cup of Splenda Granulated Sweetener for every one cup of sugar? Simple. Need ¼ cup of sugar? Just reach for six Splenda packets instead. Trying out Splenda Brown Sugar Blend? Replace every one cup that your recipe calls for with ½ cup of the Blend instead.
Seeing the bananas that were past ripe on my counter, I was all set to pull out my Banana Bread recipe... but then happened to see the Banana Mini-Chip Muffins on Splenda.com first. Yes, please!
(As I only have one small mini muffin pan, I decided to make these full-size instead. For the original recipe for the minis, be sure to head over to Splenda's website!)
Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup light butter, softened
⅓ cup Splenda Sugar Blend
⅓ cup packed Splenda Brown Sugar Blend
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 medium ripe bananas, mashed
1 large egg
1 (12 ounce) package semi-sweet chocolate morsels
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°. Spray 24 muffin cups with nonstick cooking spray or fill with paper liners.
Combine flour, baking powder and salt in medium bowl; set aside.
Combine butter, Splenda Sugar Blend, Splenda Brown Sugar Blend and vanilla in large bowl; beat at medium speed with a mixer until creamy. Beat in bananas and egg. Gradually mix in flour mixture; stir in morsels. Spoon batter evenly into prepared pan, filling cups ⅔ full.
Bake approximately 25 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in pans on wire rack. Remove muffins from pans to wire rack to cool completely.
Yum, yum and yum!

I'd rather use Stevia for sweetening. I know it's just a plant since I grow it in my garden.

I didn't know that splenda made brown sugar and or mixed variety. I will have to check this out. I eat way too much sugar. I love things sweetened and I need to try this substitute. Thanks for the great review and the measurement substitutes.
I've never tried some of these Splenda products. I do sweeten with it. It is what I prefer to use and these sound so so good.
I've never used Splenda in baking - I've got to give it a try!
