Okay, so, I’ve been trying to watch my sugar intake lately, you know, for health reasons. But man, I really miss having a little something sweet with my morning coffee. I did some digging and found this recipe for diabetic-friendly blueberry muffins. I figured, why not give it a shot?

First things first, I gathered all the ingredients. Now, I’m no expert baker, but the list seemed pretty standard. It called for stuff like flour, some sugar substitutes – I used erythritol, it was all I could find at the store, and some baking soda, baking powder, you know, the usual suspects. And of course, blueberries! I love those little guys, packed with antioxidants and all that good stuff.

Mixing everything was next. I dumped the dry ingredients in one bowl and the wet ones in another. Then, I slowly combined them, being careful not to overmix. The batter turned out a bit thick, but I figured that was normal, as it looked like what I saw in some online videos. Anyway, I folded in the blueberries last. They looked so pretty all mixed in!

Then, I greased a muffin tin – gotta prevent sticking, right? – and scooped the batter into each cup. The recipe said it would make about 12 muffins, and it looked like it would be just about right. I popped the tray into the oven, which I had preheated to, like, 350 degrees or something. I think so, at least.

  • Enriched Flour Bleached: I used a regular all-purpose one, didn’t say bleached on it, but whatever.
  • Canned Wild Blueberries: I got fresh ones ’cause I thought they’d be tastier.
  • Sugar: Substituted with some sugar alcohol I found at the store.
  • Corn Syrup: Skipped it altogether ’cause it wasn’t in the recipe I was following, it said no corn syrup, and I used oil instead.
  • Leavening: The baking soda and powder stuff, I used both.
  • Palm Oil: I used regular vegetable oil, hoping it wouldn’t make a huge difference.

While they were baking, I did some research. Apparently, breakfast for diabetics should be low in carbs and high in healthy fats and fiber. These muffins seemed to fit the bill, especially with the blueberries and the sugar substitute. I saw something about the “2B Mindset” and “veggies most” – maybe I’ll look into that later. But the smell in my kitchen was amazing! Reminded me of those buttery blueberry muffins you get at bakeries. Maybe, just maybe, my sweet tooth won’t be disappointed.

After about 20-25 minutes, I took them out. They were golden brown and looked pretty darn good, if I do say so myself. I let them cool for a bit before trying one. And you know what? They were actually pretty tasty! Not too sweet, but definitely satisfying. I think I might add a bit more sweetener next time, but overall, a success! I’m going to enjoy these with my coffee for the next few days, guilt-free. I love my new Instant Pot air fryer!

So, yeah, that’s my little baking adventure. It wasn’t perfect, but I learned a few things, and I ended up with some delicious muffins that won’t mess with my blood sugar too much. I might even try experimenting with different fruits and flavors in the future. Baking isn’t so scary after all, huh?
