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.

 

HEALTHY CARB FRENCH TOAST MUFFINS

non-stick cooking spray

1 1/2 cups egg substitute

1/2 cup fat-free half and half cream

1 tsp ground cinnamon

3 tbsp Splenda Granular

2 tbsp milled flaxseed

1 tsp vanilla

6 slices whole-wheat bread, cut into chunks

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Spray muffin pan with cooking spray.  In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together all ingredients except bread chunks.  Gently fold in the bread.  Let set 5 minutes to soak the bread chunks.  Divide the mixture evenly among the muffin cups, overfilling slightly.  Bake 25 minutes or until puffed up and set.  Serve immediately.

Crock Pot Cooking is Extremely Easy to Do and Breakfast

by pots and pans on October 28, 2009

You get up in the morning and you get ready for your day. And of course, you grab a piece of toast, some cold cereal or a cup of coffee and you rush out the door. You don’t think about the fact that not eating breakfast is the reason you lose your fire and energy by ten o’clock in the morning. Instead, you think you’re losing your energy because you’re not getting enough sleep. So the next morning, you go ahead and sleep in an extra fifteen minutes so you’re shaving your face (guys, you know you’ve done this or at least thought about it) or putting on your makeup (ladies…please) while you’re driving down the freeway at eighty miles an hour. For more details www.cooking-groundbeef.com .And of course, you completely skipped your meager breakfast and you’ll do it again tomorrow. It’s the beginning of a vicious cycle that has the potential to go on forever, affecting your sleep, your work performance and yes, even your weight, stress levels and mood.To avoid the vicious cycle that leads to everywhere you never want to be, the first thing you have to do is commit to eating breakfast everyday. If you’re worried that you won’t be able to commit, there are ways you can help yourself.My favorite suggestion to offer up to breakfast skippers everywhere is that they need to purchase a crock pot. In fact, if you’ve ever been married (especially if you live in the Mountain West) you probably received one as a wedding gift, so you can just dig it out of the cupboard. Crock pot cooking is extremely easy to do and breakfast crock pot recipes are in high demand and high supply all over the internet and crock pot cook books.With a crock pot, you can put your breakfast in when you go to sleep at ten o’clock at night and it will be finished when you get up at five o’clock or six o’clock. For more details www.cat-head-biscuit.com .If you don’t feel comfortable leaving your crock pot cooking overnight, you can always prepare a more simple crock pot breakfast recipe first thing when you wake up and it will prepare itself while you’re getting ready.However, whether you choose to use the crock pot recipes available to you on the internet and in crock pot recipe books or you decide to stick with a couple of eggs with your piece toast and cup of coffee, it’s important to remember that you can’t hit the snooze button twice every morning if you want to break free of the cycle.As a perpetual snooze button pusher myself, I’ve learned to set the alarm 30 minutes earlier, so I can hit the snooze button twice and still get up in time to cook my crock pot breakfast recipes that get me through the morning at my computer.Since I’ve learned to love breakfast and my crock pot, I’ve been exceedingly more productive. You can balk at opinion but you just can’t balk at science and logic.

User Ratings and Reviews

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.
