WELCOME TO DIABETIC ENJOYING FOOD

I have chosen this name for this blog because it truly states my story. I am a type II diabetic who most certainly enjoys food. When I was diagnosed with diabetes several years ago, my blood sugar level was over 400. With some oral medications, a lot of research and some trial and error, I have found that unlike my ancestors I truly can continue to enjoy food. I hope this blog will help you to also enjoy food and be healthy. Some recipes are my originals and some I have collected. Everyone reacts different to various foods. Check your blood sugar readings so you will know whether or not a recipe works for you! And feel free to take a recipe and adjust it to suit your needs.

BANANA-BLUEBERRY-NUT BREAD

1/2 cup fresh blueberries
2 1/4 tsp baking powder
1/3 cup light olive oil
1/2 cup quick cooking oats
1 1/2 cups white whole-wheat flour*
2/3 cup Splenda
1/4 tsp salt (optional, according to diet)
1/2 cup egg substitute or 2 eggs
1 cup mashed ripe bananas
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 

Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of the flour over blueberries. Sift rest of the flour with Splenda, baking powder and salt. Stir in oats. 

Blend egg substitute, olive oil and banana together. Combine dry ingredient mixture with banana mixture. Stir in nuts. Fold in blueberries. 

Pour into a loaf pan that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Bake one hour or until bread springs back when lightly touched. Cool ten minutes then remove from pan. Allow to cool on a wire rack before slicing.

*Feel free to use your favorite low/no carb flour alternative but be sure to make any quantity adjustments necessary.
