by liquid Splenda, do you mean Fiberfit? I have EzSweetz, and one drop will sweeten a whole batch of things.

I am going to combine sweeteners, though like you suggested, to try to balance out the cooling effect of the erythritol. I think I will power the e as well and dissolve it well before mixing the dough. That should help. Off to make another batch!

Sounds good Nigel, and if you added poppy seeds it would be lemony poppy seed scones.

I made these with chocolate chips and they are great..

On the back of my EZ-Sweetz it says 2 drops equals 2 tsps and 1 tsp equals 2 cups. I just made another batch and filled my 1/3 cup measuring cup 3/4 full of erythritol and added 8 drops of liquid Splenda ( EZ-Sweetz). HTH

These taste more like muffins to me too. They are yummy!! I used blueberries again. Next ones I'm using blackberries.

I used fresh blackberries for these ones. Love how, easy these are to whip together!!

Brendajm · 07-02-2012, 05:52 AM

We are going camping for a week and I will definately be making some of these to take along ,, and some peanut bread..

I took these this morning to my brothers house for Christmas Eve breakfast. My brother always has a big crowd over and two different people came up to me and asked for the recipe. Everyone loved these! I made strawberry, raspberry and blueberry.

If your berries are frozen, are you thawing first or just using in the frozen state? Does it even matter? thanks

Ginaaaaaa · 12-26-2012, 12:30 PM

I have used frozen berries. If you thawed frozen berries you would want to drain them first otherwise it would add more liquid to the recipe than called for.

stickergoddess · 01-03-2013, 06:13 AM

i thaw my berries- add the juice right in too- then add more almond flour if necessary. i made these again last night and the night before, but this time i used almond flour that i purchased from a bulk bin-- the texture was not great, kind of gritty, not nearly as good. the quality of almond flour makes a huge difference in this recipe-- I need to order more online-- not sure if i am allowed to say from where-- but i think most of you know who has the best quality. I may try to run the bulk bin almond flour through my food processor and see if that helps.

Brendajm · 01-03-2013, 11:57 AM

I make these all the time, so quick and easy.. Try them with just lots of cinnamon in them, about 1-2 teaspoons.. yum..(no berries.)
