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.

EASY BLACKBERRY MUFFINS

My daughter gave me some beautiful blackberries. Those berries just begged me to make some muffins! They were quite tasty, you might like them, too. You could use this recipe with other berries, if desired.

1 egg, lightly beaten

1/2 cup low-fat milk

1/4 cup olive oil

1/2 cup Splenda Magic Baker

1 1/2 cups flour*

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

6-oz fresh blackberries, washed and drained

Preheat oven to 350-degrees. Line 12 muffin cups with paper baking cups or spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.

In a mixing bowl, combine the egg with milk and oil until combined. Stir in the Splenda. 

In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Stir into the egg mixture until well combined.  Gently fold in the blackberries. Evenly divide the mixture between the 12 muffin cups and bake at 350-degrees approximately 20 minutes. Cool on wire racks.
