For the next 6 months, we've partnered with Truvia® to bring you tried and true recipes using the new Truvia® Baking Blend.

You can use  Truvia® Baking Blend in any recipe that has sugar!  Replace sugar using 1/2 the amount of Truvia® Baking Blend (for example, use 1/2 cup Truvia® Baking Blend in place of 1 cup sugar).  If you made this recipe using sugar, each muffin would have 207 calories.  Using Truvia® Baking Blend, each muffin has 164 calories!  Much better!
