    3/4 c Milk
    2 tb Butter or shortening, melted

    Mix corn muffin mix according to directions on package EXCEPT leave
    out some of the liquid so batter is thicker than normal. Batter

    True! I suppose you could substitute something. I've seen monkfruit
    "brown sugar" that's supposed to be a 1:1 substitute.

    I am not a diabetic but i do avoid sugar. My strategy is supply side,
    not demand side. I generally don't buy it, but if a family member
    offers me a treat, it goes down the hatch. :)

    There's that or even Splenda Baking is which is half-Splenda, half-sugar.

    Me too. But the thing is that I eat a carb-heavy diet and I need to fix that,

    Hi Sean,

    Hello, Ben!

    1 c Sugar; +5 tb
    2 tb Brown sugar
    2 tb Molasses

    Sub out Stevia for Baking for the cup of white sugar. It measures the
    same as sugar but has a slight bitter taste if you use it for the full
    amount of sugar. Keeping the 5 tb plus the brown sugar and molasses will
    cancel out the bitter taste. We found the Stevia for Baking when I was
    first diagnosed as diabetic. Since then I've brought it so well under
    control that I'm now basically non diabetic but because I'm still
    considered diabetic, I do things like using the SfB to keep it well
    controlled. In June of 2012 I was told that my pancreas had died and I'd
    be on insulin the rest of my life; end of February, 2013 I took my last
    shot and have been diet controlled ever since. My last A1C was 6.4.
