hi, Becky, you can make muffins out of this batter n it"s a guilt free n that"s why i labeled, it as diet cake as even the person on diet can savor it ,though even a small portion in a morning brunch:)thx:)

I'm curious how you can label this a "diet" cake... Even though the ingredients are better for you than a traditional cake, it still rings in at over 300+ calories for 1 slice (6 serving portions), and that's without icing!! Yes, it is "guilt free", but in moderation.... Thinking of making these into muffins and getting more bang for my buck... Looks delicious, though ;)
