  • 3/4cup fat-free milk

  • 1/2cup refrigerated or frozen egg product, thawed, or 2 eggs, lightly beaten

  • 2/3cup mashed banana

  • 1/4cup canola oil

  • 1teaspoon vanilla

  • 3ounces of dark chocolate, chopped

  • 1/4cup fat-free half-and-half

  • 1/2teaspoon salt

  • 1/2teaspoon baking soda


Directions

  1. To prepare the cake of your perfect dessert for diabetes,preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 10-inch fluted tube pan with butter. Set the pan aside.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, granulated sugar and brown sugar, salt, and baking soda.

  3. In another medium bowl mix milk, eggs, oil, and vanilla. Then, add the mashed bananas; stir until completely mixed. Finally, add this mixture to flour mixture. If you have an electric mixer, beat it for 2 minutes. Otherwise, stir it until the mixture is fully homogenous. Spread this mixture evenly into a prepared pan.

  4. Bake the mixture for about 45 to 55 minutes. To make your dessert for diabetes perfect, you can try using a wooden toothpick. Insert it near the center of the cake and see if there is any mixture sticking to it. If not, then you baked your cake.

  5. Let your cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Later, remove cake from pan and place it on the wire rack.

  6. When you’re done with the cake of your great dessert for diabetes, start preparing your ganache. To start, mix chocolate and half-and-half milk in a small bowl that is microwave safe. Then, microwave the ganache mixture for 1 minute in medium power. Do not cover it when you microwave the mixture.

  7. Let it chill for 5 minutes. Stir until completely smooth.

Normally, this dessert is of course very high in calories. So, to make it a dessert for diabetes, I have a great tip to decrease the calories and increase the taste!

Tip

Since this is a dessert for diabetes, you should prefer some substitutes to sugar. Instead of granulated sugar, choose ‘Splenda Sugar Blend for Baking’.  Also, instead of brown sugar, choose ‘Splenda Brown Sugar Blend for Baking’. Yet, don’t just mix the whole package; calculate the amount of these products equivalent to 1/2 cup granulated or brown sugar.

 

When you use my tip for a sugar substitution, the nutrition facts will be as below:

Nutrition analysis per serving: same as above except 177 calories, 27 grams of carbohydrate, 10 grams of total sugar, 175 mg of sodium, 5% calcium.

Isn’t the change terrific? Not only it helps you to stay on top of your diet, but it also lets you hold on to your favorite desserts!

Early Signs Of Diabetes

Diagnose Diabetes and Save Your Health by Discovering Early Signs Of Diabetes: When you have the risk of diabetes, you don’t always realize the early signs of diabetes. Without a regular self-check, you might be putting your health into the risks of Type 2 diabetes. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one third of diabetics do not even know that they are diabetic. Not only that, but a larger majority of people, who do not know the early signs of diabetes, are the people with pre-diabetes. If you have pre-diabetes and make an early diagnose, you have the chance of saving yourself from having Type 2 diabetes. Not realizing the early signs is OK! Even I did not realize my early signs of diabetes. I had an over-eating and prediabetes problem for several months without a single clue. Then, my condition got to such a point that I had to take a blood test. At the end, I was lucky enough to be diagnosed as early as possible. Whether it is you or a loved one, a simple b...

Water and juices for Diabetes

Whenever we are on a diabetic diet , we always start restricting our intake from the food section. What if I told you that making small changes in what you drink will be more effective for your health than a starving diet? lets hear my advice on water and diabetes: The industry forces you to buy drinks that are high in sugar: Coca Cola, iced tea, fruit juice, alcohol, flavored coffee… It’s time for you to take control over what you drink, because only then, you will decrease the effects of diabetes . As I made a thorough research on what low-calorie drinks are, these are my results: Water or sparkling water Unsweetened tea Unsweetened Coffee (definitely without flavor or cream!) Diet soda If you are really crazy over adding some flavor to your drinks, like me, I definitely suggest making your own flavored water.
