EASY PEACH COBBLER

8 cups sliced fresh or frozen peaches
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup Splenda granulated (or equivalent of your favorite sugar substitute)
1 cup white-whole-wheat flour (or equivalent of your favorite low/carb flour)
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp Splenda granulated

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Place the peaches over the bottom of a 9 X 13-inch baking pan or dish; set aside.

Using an electric mixer, cream the butter and 1 cup Splenda. Add the flour and mix together well. Sprinkle the mixture over the peaches.

Stir the cinnamon and 1 1/2 teaspoon of Splenda together in a bowl until well combined; sprinkle overall.

CRANBERRY MUFFINS

1 1/2 cups white whole-wheat flour, sift before measuring
1/2 cup garbanzo bean flour
1/2 cup Splenda granulated
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup coarsely chopped cranberries
1 cup low-fat milk
1/4 cup butter, melted
2 large eggs

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Grease 12 muffin cups with solid shortening or line with paper cups; set aside.

Sift the flours with half the Splenda, the baking powder and salt into a large mixing bowl.

Place cranberries in a small mixing bowl and toss with the remaining Splenda to coat well. Add to the flour mixture and toss again.

Measure the milk into a 2-cup glass measuring cup. Add the 1/4 cup melted butter and eggs; beat with a fork or small whisk until eggs are incorporated and all is well combined.

Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour milk/egg mixture into the well. Quickly stir with a fork just until moistened. Do not beat - batter will be lumpy.

Divide the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3's full. Place on center rack in oven and bake at 400 degrees 25-30 minutes until golden brown.

Remove muffins from pan to a wire rack.
