Carrot Spice Muffins

I won't tell you how many of these I just ate ;p  Suffice to say, they are really good. I used this recipe from Fat Free Vegan and tried out some new fun stuff I got a Basic Foods. I used Spelt flour and tofu in place of the yogurt. I also bought some Stevia Cane sugar.

I generally use Agave for everything but I saw this at HEB and thought I'd try it. It's half Stevia and half pure cane sugar so 1/2c equals 1c regular sugar. I only used 1/8 c plus the 1/3 c Agave and it was plenty sweet. I also added walnuts instead of raisins. I'm not a big raisin fan.

I'm wondeirng if using dates would allow me to cut out all the sugar?
