how can I lighten up this recipie??

Question

I can't have gluten, so I bought gluten free corn muffin mix at the market
the ingredients are:
corn meal
white rice flour
bakeing powdwe
and salt

it says to add 1/4 c. sugar, 1 1/3 c. lowfat buttermilk, 1 egg, and 6 tablespoons melted butter

I would like to lighten up this recipie, I have some pumpkin puree, I can make apple sauce quick, we have all kinds of oil, and i have sucant to use in the place of butter.
I was thinking 1/4 c. sucant
1 cup pumpkin puree
spices
1/3 or 1/4 cup fat free milk
2 egg whites
3 tablespoons canola oil

what do you think??

sucant is an all natural sugar that's unrefined
and i always forget how to spell it!

wow! thats unbelievably unhelpful! i really apreciate a lecture about canola oil and 4,000 definitions of the word butter milk! Thank you so much for answering

Answer 1

I actually just made these muffins yesterday (the mix is from whole foods, right?). Instead of sugar I used 10 splenda packets. I replaced the buttermilk with 1 can of evaporated skim. I can't have eggs so I replaced the egg with egg replacer (2 egg whites would probably work just as well though). Finally, I replaced the butter with a combination of unsweetened applesauce (1 individual snack-sized cup) and 1 tablespoon of canola oil. They came out pretty tasty. Hope this helps!

canola oil is refined from the rape seed which has to be highly refined to remove toxins to make it safe for human use and is crap

Canola oil .... blessing or poison ?The raging controversy over canola oil is just industry smoke and mirrors ; the stuff just ain't good for you.

Answer 4

RECIPE and baking powder are the words.

What is sucant?? I haven't heard of it.

Your reduction sounds good. I also use Splenda in place of sugar, it really does a great job.
