Nothing with Splenda is healthy. Splenda itself is a toxic sweetener that wrecks havoc with one's body. There is plenty of information about artificial sweeteners and I invite the author of this recipe to educate him/herself.

Forgo the Splenda. Use organic Blue Agave (bought mine at Costco), and it is very much a tasty recipe.

I agree. Much money is spent brainwashing people into thinking this manufactured junk is "just like sugar", a truly natural product.

Just replace the Splenda with 1/2 (or less) cup of sugar. I didn't have the bran flour on hand so I used another cup of the whole wheat flour. I also cooked/simmered my Granny Smith apples which tend to be firmer than cooking apples. I'm at high altitude so be sure to do the toothpick test. These muffins taste great, make for a quick breakfast and have the fiber we all desperately need!!

I substituted Truvia instead of Splenda, I left out the raisins, and used milk instead but these are a winner with my husband. He eats two each evening and loves them. With age being a factor, he needs the bran but hates taking it from a bottle.
