[QUOTE="IanD, post: 117994, member: 6186"] Strikes me as too much butter & carb. I suggest leaving out the flour completely, & replacing with a mix of ground almonds, soya flour , oat bran, not forgetting baking powder. I use the 'minute muffin' recipe (search 'muffins'), which allows experiment without wasting ingredients. I find its always edible, & am improving all the time. I've just made a choc sponge for a little diabetic girl coming to our church club. ground almond - 50 ml soya flour 30 ml cocoa 30 ml Splenda 30 ml baking powder 1 tsp mix dry ingredients thoroughly in a small bowl 1 egg oil 30 ml mix thoughly 1 dsp water - for soft 'dropping' consistency MW on full for 1 1/2 mins loosen edges & tip out on a rack to cool About 100 g - 4 g carb, 1 g per portion. All sorts of variation possible - I leave out the choc & sweetener - add bran, & spices, milled nuts & it makes a useful v low carb 'bread.' (Its bread, Jim, but not as we know it.) Double the quantities & double the cooking time. [/QUOTE]
