DIRECTIONS
In a mixing bowl, beat margarine and sugar substitute until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in honey and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; add to egg mixture alternately with milk, beating just until combined. Gently fold in blueberries. Coat muffin cups with nonstick cooking spray or line with paper liners; fill three-fourths full with batter. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Yield: 1 dozen. This recipe was tested using Imperial 1/3 less fat stick margarine. Editor's Note: If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw before adding to batter. This recipe was tested with Splenda No Calorie Sweetener.
