Great question, Kathleen! The calorie count includes the glaze. :)

Wow, I thought that was one of the healthy ones. I have so much to learn. :-/

Marty, you cheeky monkey… I’m with Cathy on better ingredients and even though I make a mental substitution when I read things like soy milk and canola oil in a recipe, it would be sweet (and in line with their brand) if Blendtec’s recipes were in tune with healthier options.

Emily, you’re right! It is cups, thanks for catching that. We’ve made the change in the recipe.

Is it really only 1 1/4 TEASPOONS of sugar? I feel like that should be cups, compared to the other bread recipes I’ve been making lately. Thanks!
