I think I used 1/4 cup white sugar + 1 tablespoon molasses last time, and they tasted fine to me. They're not sweet, but they have a nice texture to them. And the molasses makes them a nice color. For 12 muffins, it means there's 1 teaspoon of white sugar per muffin if you use 1/4 cup. Does molasses count against you as well, or is that ok to use to sweeten?

linz, i think stevia, even though it's a no-calorie sweetener, is in a totally different category from the chemical sweetners. you know i don't buy the natural=safe thing, but stevia, i believe, is just a plant that tastes sweet but has no sugar, as opposed to the modified sugar molecules and other weird things the artificials are.

I also use it--however it's super mega sweet. A little lasts a long time/goes a long way.
It's the safest sweetener out there.
