Diabetes Diabetic sugar free cupcake recipes, UK's best :)

I really like cupcakes but I restrict myself to once a week and that too half a cupcake. Any kind of cake is bad for me as it just spikes up my BS levels. Do you really think your recipe is good for me?

 

toodlez Here's a recipe. I am sure your grandchildren will love them.

Chocolate Cupcakes

Butter (melted) - 1/3 cup
Eggs - 6
Cocoa powder - 5 tbsps
Almond flour - 250 gms
Baking powder - 1 tsp
Ground flaxseed - 60 gms
Splenda - 11 tsps
Water - 1/2 cup

Preheat the oven at 170 C. Take a bowl and mix all the dry ingredients. In another bowl whisk the eggs and melted butter. Now add the water and whisk again. In this bowl add in the dry mixture and mix well. Pour the batter in the cupcake tins and bake it for 40 mins. Keep checking on the cupcakes as they can get cooked before time and we don't want a burnt cupcake.

Mocha Cream Frosting

Unsweetened cocoa - 1/4 cup
Whipped cream - 1 cup
Splenda - 1/3 cup
Instant coffee granules (crushed in a blender) - 1 tsp

In a bowl add in whipped cream and coffee and mix well (the cream should be whipped cream and not fresh cream. If you have fresh cream then you have to whip it well till it gets fluffy). Add in splenda and whisk it well. Fold the cocoa slowly as we do not want to over-mix it. Wolla! It is ready. You can use it fresh or freeze it .

 

I am Type 2 and I can eat a cupcake or a yummy treat minus the topping of cream But when I see the carbs and the spike in my BS levels, I don't think it is worth it. I am not into sweets or cakes, so I don't miss the cakes and cupcakes. It has taken me days to chart my diet and see what suits me and control my BS levels. So sorry I am not interested.

Friends this recipe is definitely not low carb but I am sure kids will love them. My mom used to make them a lot. , not low carb but not everything in life is!

Lavender & Lemon cupcakes

Flour - 140 gms
Icing sugar - 140 gms
Unsalted butter - 140 gms
Grated zest of small lemon
Lavender flower heads - 14 nos.(12 for the cake and 2 for decorating)
Milk - 75 ml
Eggs - 2 nos.
Caster sugar - 140 gms
Violet food color - few drops
Baking powder - 1 tsp

In a pan pour the milk and add the lavender flowers and let it simmer. Allow it to cool down and then strain it and discard the flower.
Preheat the oven to 180 C. In a bowl take the melted butter and whisk in caster sugar and lemon zest till its creamy. Add in the eggs and whisk. Fold in the flour and baking powder. Now add in the lavender milk to have a good pouring consistency. Pour this batter into the cupcake tins and bake it for 25 mins. Cool and serve.

Note- I have added small lavender flowers. If you get big ones, use only 6. Size of the flower matters.

For the icing

In a bowl add the icing sugar and remaining lavender milk for a smooth icing texture. You can add in 1 drop of violet food color and your icing is ready.
Spread it on top of the cupcake and decorate it with lavender flowers.

 

HalloweenCupcakes

Ground almonds - 75 grams
Ground walnuts - 75 grams
Baking powder - 1 tsp
Eggs - 3 nos.
Vanilla extract - 1 tsp
Sweetener
Psyllium husks (ground) - 1 1/2 tsp
Grated pumpkin flesh - 200 gms
Ground ginger - 1 tsp
Cinnamon- 1 tsp
Cardamom - a few pinches
Canola oil - 1/4 cup
Sour cream - 1 cup

Take a bowl and add in all the dry ingredients. In another bowl add in all wet ingredients and whisk well. Now add in the pumpkin and mix well. Now mix in all the wet mixture in the bowl of dry ingredients and taste. You can add in sweetener or spices as your taste-bud.
Preheat the oven at 175 C. Pour the batter into the tins and bake it for 45 mins. As the batter has enough moisture it may take some time to cook. First-timers should keep a check on the cake. If the tins are small it will cook fast and if the tins are bigger like mine it will take longer.

Frosting

Dark chocolate - 250 gms
Butter - 40 gms (room temperature)
Grated orange peel - 1/2 tsp
Sweetener
Cream cheese - 160 gms
Lemon juice

In a bowl whisk the butter and cream cheese well. Add the sweetener, orange peel and lemon juice. Do not mix too much orange peel. We do not want the frosting to be bitter.
Optional - If you feel like adding in food colour, you can.

We are not adding chocolate in the frosting but using it separately.
In a double boiler melt the chocolate. When it cools down pour it in a spray bottle or you can make a greaseproof bag from a greaseproof paper and make a small hole in the corner. make cobwebs or any design on a greaseproof paper. Put this in the freezer to get set. Once set remove it carefully and keep aside.

Coat the frosting on top of the cupcakes and place the chocolate cobweb on top. Serve.
