[Bubbsie]

Still have the trifle on my 'to do' list.
Here is a picture of the last slice of my cheesecake mark 2.

I made a small cheesecake after my last failure, I think this attempt is much more successful and tasty too.

Oh Benny that looks good...have you posted the recipe?...I'd like to try that.🙂

Ohhh @Bubbsie those look fab!! you posted the recipe yet? Not sure if I'm keen on blueberries so I'd probably sub for raspberries or blackberries 🙂 xx

 

[Kaylz]

@Benny G I agree with Bubs, looks awesome and I'd like to give it a go too!! 🙂 xx

Low Carb Blueberry Muffin recipe
Ingredients (make about 10 muffins):
2 eggs
Equivalent of 100 g of sugar (I used 8 tbsp. splenda)
4 tbsp. melted butter
¾ tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. sea salt
1 tsp. lemon zest
1 tsp. vanilla extract
240g almond flour (or ground almond)
150g fresh blueberries ( I think 150g is too much & tends to make the muffins very moist, possibly 100g would be better)
2 tbsp. milk
Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 180C
2. Mix dry ingredients (almond flour, lemon zest, sea salt, baking powder and fructose) together.
3. Add wet ingredients (eggs, milk, vanilla extract, butter) and mix well together.
4. Add blueberries and fold in gently.
5. Divide the batter into muffin cups. The batter is quite firm so you will need to use a little spoon to level the batter nicely. The muffin cups should be filled to the top as the batter doesn’t rise much.
6. Bake about 20-25 minutes until lightly browned on the top.

Its mad but when you make or grow something yourself it tastes better ! Honest 😉.( I can remember my rock- buns at school )

Just done that Kaylz...although in my next batch I will use less blueberries...150g tends to make them very moist...still delicious...obviously you could substitute any berry fruit you wanted but be careful of overloading the mixture.

You're right Hobie...enjoying the baking...although I ate three of these...I didn't mean to but one to test the quality control😉...I ate the second because I so enjoyed the first one...I ate the third because I'm greedy & lack self control

I wont be doing any low carb I'm afraid, I'd be using proper sugar, maple syrup, agave etc rather than sweeteners as there's no point in me using them as I still have to count the carbs in them xx

Kaylz the sweeteners I use are the type that we do not digest...it goes in...then go straight out again...but if you prefer to use sugar then you should...its a shame low carb is not for you...I am so enjoying having things I thought were off limits for good...but we all have to manage the best way we know how.

 

[Kaylz]

But @Kaylz you do mostly low carb already.

Hardly, porridge for breakfast, sandwich for lunch and tatties every night, I'm totting more than I used to xx

EVERY carb has to be injected for whether it be sugar OR sweetener, many people don't realise that but we DO have to cover it xx

Kaylz you have to manage your diabetes whatever way is best for you...no one has to do low carb...I choose to go low carb as do many other T2's... we have to when managing on diet & exercise only.. low carbing is essential to my keeping control of my diabetes...it's a shame you can't enjoy these recipes...but they're not suitable for everyone.

 

[Kaylz]

Do you count your carbs?

Yes I do why?

No carb sugars really don't need insulin coverage.
Please do not tell me you would inject to cover a diet coke.

The likes of Truvia has 99g carb per 100g, I'm not the only one that counts them, no a diet coke I wouldn't obviously I'm not stupid but if using in baking or 'sugar free' sweets they do need to be covered x

Benny...are we getting that cheesecake recipe?...I'd like to try it...I have the girls coming next week...I'd love to make one with them...please.

 

[Bubbsie]

Look can we stop the argument about carb counting...the need to inject or not to inject...this is not the place for it...it's a baking thread...that's all...anyone wanting to use the recipes can...anyone choosing not to doesn't have to.

 

[Bubbsie]

Can we get back to baking now

 

[New-journey]

I've made some Blueberry muffins...an experiment with some mini ones first...those are done & taste good...the texture is great...possibly too many blueberries in it...but what the hell...the next full batch of large muffins is a must for tomorrow...a little glimpse of while you're waiting for those.

4.8g carbs & 217 calories per muffin

[Bubbsie]

Sorry about that @Bubbsie you are quite correct. I will dig out the cheese cake recipe, which I found floating in the Internet.

No problem Benny...just desperate to have that cheesecake recipe😉
