Has anyone had any luck baking with Splenda brand sugar sub? I also have questions on "Brown Sugar Substitute" in things like Banana bread, anyone have any luck with these things?

I have used Splenda in some of my baking. Their web site has sample recipes. I have used it to make muffins that tasted the same as similar muffins made with sugar. They did not look identical, so tasters were able to tell them apart by appearance, but not by taste.

IME it works best in recipes where the sugar is not a key binding agent
- so it's hopeless in eg jam, or icecream where it doesn't have sugar's effect of lowering the freezing point,, but fine in simple cakes like muffins and cupcakes. In biscuits the result is apt to be crumbly - add a bit more liquid.
