    I really like these - easy to make, and very healthy. With the brands/versions I used, mine came out to 35 calories each, making 15 small cupcake sized servings (instead of the 16 servings he suggests in the recipe).

    I highly recommend this guy's site - it's got some good recipes and very interesting articles/blog posts.

      Yup. I used much less than the recipe calls for, though, since I use 100% pure stevia (no fillers/additives/etc.) and it's very concentrated. I seriously added maybe 1/8 of a tsp of stevia - not 1/2 a cup!!! They weren't super sweet - if you wanted them to be sweeter I'd add a little more, but no more than 1/4 to 1/2 a tsp of pure stevia at the most.

      I was looking for something like this. I want to bring treats into the office on Monday and am not much of a cook or baker.

      What is pure stevia versus splenda or what the recipe calls for? Also can you use low fat cottage cheese?

      these sound really yummy! Anyone have any experience with substituting something for the splenda? I've never tried stevia, but I've never really liked anything flavored with splenda. I don't mind sweet n' low, but I'm not sure about using it in a recipe. I suppose I could use regular sugar and just figure out the extra calories.

      Oh no way! I think I'd use regular sugar and just recalculate the cals, but still, this sounds DELICIOUS.

      Yeah, I used low-fat cottage cheese - I don't see why you couldn't use any cottage cheese you wanted.

      Pure stevia is a really fine powder - they don't sell it in a ton of places. You can't substitute it 1:1 for regular sugar or the splenda that's made for baking, because it's much sweeter/more concentrated. 1 serving for coffee is like 1/32 of a tsp or something ridiculous like that. Common stevia products have fillers/additives and it's not as concentrated, so you use more of it to make something as sweet vs. using pure stevia. To be honest I don't know the exact conversion - I used about 1/2 a tsp of pure stevia or something small like that for the batch I made. Here's a website about it: http://www.quick-weightloss-solutions.com/stevia-for-cooking.html

      Make sure you make a test batch and have an alternative in case it doesn't work out. It took me a couple tries to get it right - you have to blend it really smooth (cottage cheese chunks cook a little funny), and I had to cook it longer than the recipe called for.
