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.

FUDGY PEANUT BUTTER BROWNIE CAKE


1 box sugar-free brownie mix
3/4 tsp almond extract
1 cup crunchy peanut butter
1 jar sugar-free hot fudge ice cream topping
fresh mint sprig for garnish, if desired

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Coat the bottom of a 9-inch round cake pan with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.

Prepare the brownie mix according to package directions. Stir in the almond extract and peanut butter until blended. Spread batter into the prepared baking pan.

Bake at 350 degrees for 40 to 42 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely in the pan before removing to a cake plate.

Stir the hot fudge topping until smooth. Spread the entire jar over the cake covering the top and sides. Using a frosting knife swirl topping in a decorative patter. Place mint sprig in center, if using.
This is my version of a Pillsbury recipe I found when I was first diagnosed with diabetes.
