Muffins are a wonderful treat but one that diabetics are always watching because of the sugar and carb content. Now that we are into fall, and a muffin is perfect with a hot cup of coffee, hot tea, or hot chocolate, I thought I would bring out a couple of muffin recipes that are perfect for diabetics as well as dieters or anyone wanting to eat a more healthy muffin. Following are two ideal muffin recipes for the above mentioned persons. Tropical Muffins is exactly that, a reminder of being in the tropics, eating tropical fruit and enjoying the warm sunshine and ocean breezes. Healthy Carb French Toast Muffins are as the title indicates. Healthy with a bit of flaxseed and whole wheat and yet the tempting taste of French toast. Yum!
TROPICAL MUFFINS
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup Equal Sugar-Lite OR Splenda
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup unsweetened coconut
3 medium ripe bananas, mashed
1/3 cup unsalted butter
1 egg, beaten OR 1/4 cup egg substitute
1 tsp orange zest
1/3 cup fresh squeezed orange juice
Vegetable oil spray
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray 12 muffin cups with vegetable oil spray and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together flour, Splenda or Equal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir in the coconut and make a well in the center of the mixture. Combine the remaining ingredients together and put into the well of the dry mixture. Stir just until the dry ingredients are moistened. Spoon batter into muffin cups, filling each two-thirds full. Bake at 375 for 25 to 30 minutes or until lightly browned.

Farberware FSTO400R 4 Slice Toaster Oven
4 slice large capacity toaster oven Holds up to a 9.5″ x 9.5″ baking tray 30 minute timer Auto shut-off with bell signal Detachable Rack Easy to clean
2 Stars Not a toaster oven!
This is a toaster only, and works fine as such. Mine arrived several days after the scheduled date, and with a large dent on the top.
5 Stars Perfect RED
I bought this toaster oven because I wanted RED, and not a big one. This is a pretty red that matches my Fiesta dinnerware and the accents in my kitchen. It is clean and simple in appearance, without a lot of “bells & whistles”. It has one timer (dial) to turn it on and start the timer. You need to watch the toast (or item) so you get it to the color you want for the first few times. Then you will know where to set the timer. It’s way simple, not like a microwave or vcr. I haven’t had it long enuf’ to say how it will last, but Farberware has been around for a long time, so I’m confidant.
4 Stars Works fine
This toaster oven is a good oven for the right price. It’s black and it works just fine. It does have an annoying bell that bings when the timer is up, but that is not too bad. It’s only dial is a timer, that lets you heat for a set amount of time. There is no temperature gauge or anything else. So it’s not high on features, but it is low on price.
4 Stars cute, but lacking just a bit in functionality
First, let me say that this is a reasonably priced toaster over and it is absolutely adorable. The color is great and it adds a lot of personality to my blah kitchen. However it isn’t as versatile as other toaster ovens I’ve owned in the past. When I ordered this product, there wasn’t a detailed decription of the features so I wasn’t aware that there isn’t a temperature selection dial. This means that the only control you have is time. So it’s great for toasting but doesn’t broil or allow you to choose other temperatures to heat other foods. So it’s more of a toaster oven style toaster than a true toaster oven in my opinion. Very cute though.
