This week I wanted to bake something, but since I’ve been told I need to stay off sugar and carbs, I had to look for diabetic-friendly recipes. I’m NOT diabetic, mind you, but I figure I should eat like one, to give me a little push towards more healthful eating.
Thanks to Pinterest, I managed to find this recipe, and tried it out with a few modifications. For example, instead of using almond flour (which I couldn’t find), I used wholemeal flour. And instead of pumpkin pie spice, I used grated cinnamon.
Mixed the dry and wet ingredients separately, and then put them together, and place in a bread pan and put in the oven.
Here’s the before and after

I made buttercream frosting that’s supposed to be spread on top, but I was just too concerned about the sugar and the calories from the cream cheese, butter and sweetener, that I didn’t eat a lot of it with the bread.
The bread tasted good, but it wasn’t as moist as I wanted it to be, so I guess I have to try again. Since I prefer cooking on the stove as opposed to using the oven, I think I need a bit more practice with baking. Who knows, maybe I’ll make my own cupcakes one of these days.
What about you, what have you been whipping up in your kitchen?
