advice on sugar subs!

Posted by gretchenx5, December 7, 2008 at 3:18 PM

I don't bake much - usually my sister's the big baker of the family, and when she's home from college I'm sure we'll be overflowing with bread products and cookies.
BUT - i'm in a bake-y sort of mood today, and i'm going for something breakfasty. I would really rather not use actual sugar - things like muffins (which is kind of what im leaning towards) seem to wind up being about the caloric amount of about 5 normal breakfasts in one little package. Here's the dilemna - i'm not a splenda fan, and i'm looking for something more natural. I used a "morefiber baking blend" last time, and my muffins turned out awesome. But, now i can't find that in my grocery store's bulk bins!
does anyone know of a good (not toooo expensive) sugar substitute that won't leave my muffins so calorically dense that I don't wanna eat them, and have a tip on where to find it? anything stevia-ish has worked well for me in the past.

thanks serious eaters. you always have the best advice :)
