I now have the texture of my muffins right and they have no effect on BG levels but no matter what I add, banana, blueberries etc, I still feel as though they are too dry. Am I missing something out? Any suggestions would be appreciated - I have seen some recipes which include unsweetened apple sauce but unfortunately it seems impossible to find in the UK

You can get tins of sliced apples which are unsweetened. Blitz this up in a food processor and you get apple sauce. You could then freeze this in ice cube trays and use as much or as little as you need.
 
Yogurt is a good idea or just grate an apple.Do you mind sharing the recipe?
 
also apple sauce is relatively quickly made... probably faster than the muffins! if you do not fancy making apple sauce then putting chunks of apples into the mix might help as they keep moist but it might make the muffins prone to go mouldy quickly, so they need to be eaten within a couple of days

and yoghurt is also an idea and you could take the muffins out a bit earlier
 
I tried pieces of dark chocolate. It melts at first and goes gooey but if chilled it goes solid again,

I kind of make it up as I go along but it's roughly 40g each of ground almonds and porridge oats, 20g SR flour, 2 tbsp Stevia. half tsp each of baking powder and baking soda, 25g melted butter, 1 egg and 80ml milk. Then added banana etc
