Method
Preheat oven to 180 C. Place paper baking cups in muffin pans and coat with vegetable cooking spray.

Beat eggs and SPLENDA® Stevia Crystal at high speed with an electric mixer for 5 minutes. Reduce speed to medium; add oil and vanilla; beating until blended, about 1 minute. Add flour mixture alternately with milk mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Beat at low speed, just until blended after each addition.
