I made this Spice Cake recipe yesterday http://mariamindbodyhealth.com/spice-cake-for-micahs-2nd-birthday/ halving the recipe and making as muffins. Really good.
I forgot to adjust the oven time from 30-35 min and they were overdone but didn't taste burnt. Probably should have been 20-25 min. I also didn't frost them, just put whipped cream cheese on when eating.
They were a little too sweet and next time I would probably use just a half cup sweetener. I used Zsweet (combo of erythritol/Stevia) for the first time and was impressed with the lack of any weird taste (as opposed to Truvia, imo). My sister, who is not an LCer but instead a long time "health food" type, also thought they were a bit too sweet but had no weird taste.
I'd call this a keeper recipe!
Incidentally, putting the info through MyPlan recipe, as opposed to the blogger's info which included the frosting, I came up with:
127 cals per muffin, carbs 3.93 g, fiber 1.9 gm, protein 3.25 gm, fat 11.08 gm so 3 net carbs per muffin.
