Cake

[bakebeans]

i made some little carrot cup cakes today using whole wheat flower, they don’t taste very nice (no sugar or sweetener just sour cream, probably why they don’t taste very nice) but it was an experiment to see what happened after I ate them. An hour after eating one I’d gone from 5.4 to 5.6 do you think I’ll have a delayed reaction because of the whole wheat flour? I’ve exercised and eaten dinner before the 2 hour mark so if I test now it won’t be a true reading

I guess you could opt for soya and almond flour mix, which could be an improvement. I've not eaten cake since beginning of May, would like to but I'm not much of a baker.

Thanks for your reply. I’m not much of a baker either but I’m trying to improve. I tested again a couple of hours later and was 6.1 so was happy with that as it included my evening meal. Walking 20,000 steps yesterday could have also helped maybe

You could try Michael Mosley recipes which replace flour with aubergine or beans. Aubergine brownies are ground almonds, eggs, cocoa powder & aubergine. He does use a couple of dates & I do replace those with xylitol. Very tasty & healthy.

That sounds lovely thanks I’ll give it a go
