    I made these muffins with castor sugar rather than the slenda. Other than that I followed the recipe and your suggestion that cranberries and nuts could be added I opted for cranberries and pecan nuts in half the mix and half plain. A very unusual muffin, kind of crunchie and grainy, liked the sugar on top we did like them and i will make them again.
