Makes 12 muffins.

Recipe Tips and Modifications:
Although the recipe calls for spice cake mix, you can also use devils food cake (think brownie like muffins) or vanilla cake mix.
This recipe can also be prepared as a (12 serving) cake. Bake in 9" cake pan at 400 degrees for 25 minutes.
However, if you have difficulty with controlling portion sizes, prepare muffins or mini muffins. It's easier to unknowingly eat 3 (undefined) portions of cake from a pan than it is to eat 3 (defined) muffins!
Weight Loss Surgery Diet Tip:
Prepare smaller muffins in MINI muffin tins. ONE mini muffin = 60 calories, 1g fat, 12g carbs, 0.5g fiber, 0.5g protein.
