"Sugar-free" has always been a "yu-u-u-c-c-k!" phrase to me. How could things that us Sweet Lovers find delicious be satisfying without sugar? Well, guess what? Thanks to my contracting a weird illness, the Web Master, now must learn to appreciate...or, at least, "tolerate"...sugar-free stuff. So, knowing that I've got a lot of company in this "club" I'm offering a page of "half-an-hour-or-less recipes" for our old favorite, sweet desserts, since they're the hardest to replicate. Check 'em out.

As I enter this good quick & easy, you can still buy fresh blueberries at lower summer prices. Great time to make these tasty guys. But be sure there's no sugar in the o.j., ok?

1 cup blueberries
1 & 3/4 cup flour PLUS
2 tsp flour, divided use
1 Tbsp baking powder
1/4 tsp each cinnamon & nutmeg
2 eggs
1/4 cup canola oil
3/4 cup orange juice
1 tsp grated lemon or orange rind

Preheat oven to 400F and .spray muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray or line with baking cups.

Lightly coat blueberries with 2 tsp flour by shaking in a paper or zipper plastic bag.

In a large bowl, stir 1 & 3/4 cups flour, baking powder, nutmeg, and cinnamon.

In a small bowl, beat the eggs lightly, add oil, orange juice, and grated rind.
