Hi. I love to bake. I never really ate most of it anyway, so that side doesn't bother me too much. But in the last 9 weeks since my diagnosis I have been nervous about it. I know my 'go to' of banana cake is a massive no - no.
I'm looking after my 2 yr old granddaughter next week, and she will want to bake with me. I want to introduce healthier items to my family. My sister was diagnosed 4 years ago, and my other sister was diagnosed this week as pre - diabetes, so am thinking it is in the genes! My Mum died when 60 - so a possibility she would have developed it had she lived long enough.
1. Lex wants to make biscuits (not my forte). Any suitable recipes fairly easy.
2. I've looked at stevia - anyone recommend it or think it's no good? In proportion to usual sugar how much would you use?
3. No recipes containing nuts - not allergic - just don't really like them.
4. Almond flour/ground almonds - given point 3 can you really taste it? Recommendations/no good. If I think the taste is too strong could I mix it with regular flour?
Thanks in advance.
