I need to add to my food a chocolate one minute muffin with low carb frosting. It was made with avocado! I had to try it because I could not see how this could work. It did! Smashing :)

Do you have a recipe??

This is the icing recipe I used that has avocado in.
For the chocolate frosting
  1. 1 ripe avocado
  2. 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
    ir
  3. 1/4 cup roasted almond butter
    ir
    (unsalted)
  4. 1/4 cup coconut milk
    ir
  5. 1/4 tsp ginger powder
  6. 1/4 tsp cinnamon powder
  7. 1/8 tsp nutmeg powder
  8. 2 dried cloves, stems removed
  9. 4 packets Stevia
    ir
You blend them all together. I put too much cinnamon powder in. I used cream instead of coconut milk

Yesterday
B: made an chorizo n parma ham, lactofree omelette with 2 eggs that were double yokers!! had half served with left over okra, tomatoes, peppers dish from last night. Mmm.

S: whilst driving, some homemade spicy nuts...cashews, walnuts, pecans, almonds all toasted with some random spices, a little scotch bonnet, a little oil, coarse salt and some last minute onion. Nice.

D: At family and they made a feast! But for me as I couldn't have carbs they made me a 'moolie' dish that is loaded with flavour, veg and 'peas' (legumes), instead of rice n 'peas' and under ground roots. Bless Uncle who made it. Didn't have the heart to say 'peas' cause my bloods to spike as well... so had a taste of all the different meats (stewed chicken, curry lamb, roast pork, bake fish) my moolie and a lot of salad. My BS went up to a +3 at 3.5 hours then BS was higher for the rest of evening. But no reactive hypo, interesting.:)

S: sm amount of nuts driving home.

S: sm glass of red with olives and a hunk of cheese....

Hello. It struck me that you may want the muffin recipe as well.

[paste:font size="4"]INGREDIENTSegg, beaten well
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa
  • 5 drops liquid Splenda (3 small packages of splenda)
  • 1 tablespoon softened butter


  1. In a small bowl, beat egg with fork and add in the rest of the ingredients until.
  2. a smooth batter is formed.
  3. Pour into a cup which will hold 8 ounces. You could use a coffee mug.Microwave for one minute.
  4. The carb count would depend on the sweetener. I don't think it would affect the texture of the cake.But, without the sweetener, you would have .7 carb for the egg and 2 NET carbs for the cocoa powder.About 3 net carbs in all.then add the sweetener carbs.
  5. The recipe says 1 minute but mine was more like 2 mins as the middle was still liquidy. I used a small Pyrex bowl too as I seemed to have a lot od mixture.

B - 3 bacon

D - Sausage & cheese on a Lidl low carb roll. It's my first time eating a Lidl roll that folks have raved about.

My two-hour BG after dinner was +3.5 :( The sausages and cheese are familiar food so it was the Lidl roll that did it. ******.

A friend found some reasonably priced 70% and gave me a couple of bars to try. After months of not having choc handy, they now sit beside my chair in the evening. No matter how gorgeous they are, I will be quite pleased when they are gone!
