I thought as much, or maybe not quite so much ... but you the Wiz. Not for me to say. But if it's erythritol what's the prob? No prob.

Thankee. My tooth seems okay. Well, it's no longer there. A nicer substitute is in place, however. I believe I'll whip me up some banana muffins!

Thanks Wiz!

Hi Greg, I'm anxious to try this recipe. Glad to see you are keeping the oven warm. Say hi to Dorothy.

What a great snack for the kids after sports! If you have teenagers, you may need a triple batch!

Yes, it worked out beautifully. I will say, though, as I did not have a 12-cup pan I baked these in a six-cup pan - the cups are more or less twice the size. They make very large cupcakes. They also took fully 35 minutes of cooking, which I attribute to the fact that each muffin is twice the regular size. I also used dried cherries, which I soaked in hot water for 10 minutes and drained thoroughly before adding to the batter. The whole shebang awoke Jean from a profound sleep: the aroma wafting through the winter house. Makes your mouth water in your sleep.

Greg: You don't list any "sugar" in the ingredients, but you mention sugar in the instructions. Sugar or not? I, of course, will substitute erythritol, but not if one is to leave out sugar. Don't wanna be messin' with the Wiz.
