A muffin is a small-sized goodie, somewhat like cupcakes but usually less sweet. Muffins are often made with ingredients such as flour, sugar, baking soda, milk, and more. We made these muffins using Diabexy sugar and NutroActive Almond flour instead of refined sugar and normal flour because refined sugar and normal flour can lead to weight gain, blood sugar spikes, an increased risk of diabetes, and contribute to heart disease and inflammation.
The origin of muffins is from both England and the United States. In terms of taste, muffins come in two types: sweet and savory. Sweet muffins include ingredients like fruits, chocolate, or spices, while savory muffins can contain cheese, vegetables, or meats. They’re popular because they can be enjoyed at any time of day, whether for breakfast, a snack, or even dessert.
Here, we are sharing easy-to-make muffin recipes made using nutritious ingredients. These recipes are healthy and suitable for people with diabetes, allowing them to enjoy muffins without worrying about their sugar levels. They are perfect for those who prioritize their health without compromising on taste.
