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.

BRITT'S WHOLE 30 BANANA MUFFINS

This is from an article I posted in 2017. I have no idea if Britt still does whole 30, has the same blog, etc.
I have a church friend who is doing the whole 30 diet. I personally do not believe in diets, unless ordered by your doctor, but I respect those who do them. My belief is to eat right everyday and you won't need specific diets which are hard to stick to. Britt has a blog called Dream Boat Living where she posted this recipe. She says these are tasty and her children like them, too. I haven't made them yet but when I do I will use half almond flour and half white whole wheat flour since I require gluten. This is a very diabetic-friendly recipe so I thought some of you would probably enjoy it.

* 2 bananas
 * 1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce
 * 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
 * 3 eggs
 * 1 tsp vanilla extract or vanilla powder
 * 2 cups almond flour 
 *  1 tsp baking powder
 * 1 tsp baking soda
 * 1/2 tsp salt
 * 1 tsp cinnamon 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line muffin pan with cupcake liner or grease with coconut oil. In a large mixing bowl mix all ingredients together. Spoon into muffin pan evenly. Bake for 20 mins or until you can insert a tooth pick into the center of the muffin and it comes out clean. Allow to cool and enjoy!!!
