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.

APPLE CINNAMON PUFFED PANCAKE

2 tsp butter
1 tsp Splenda Brown Sugar Blend
1 small apple, peeled, cored, diced fine
2/3 cup 1% milk
2 large eggs + 1 large egg white
1/2 cup white whole wheat flour
1/4 cup Splenda Granulated
3/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Melt butter in a 10-inch ovenproof skillet; add brown sugar blend and apple, cooking 3 to 4 minutes to soften the apple.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, egg white, flour, Splenda Granulated, cinnamon, and vanilla just until smooth. Pour over the apples in the hot skillet and immediately place in the oven. Bake at 435 degrees 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees and bake an additional 10-15 minutes. Pancake is done when it is puffed up and the edges are curled up and browned.

Remove from oven and lightly dust with the powdered sugar or your own homemade fake powdered sugar.
Serve with some fresh berries or fruit, if desired. Butter and syrup are not necessary with this pancake. I would eat a protein item with this.
