I have been doing some baking.

OH keeps looking in the cupboard for "something nice to eat" but I never buy "something nice" as it does not agree with his diabetes.

I had some raspberries in the fridge so first off was some diabetic friendly raspberry muffins.

10oz light brown self raising flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
3 oz Flora Cuisine
3 oz coconut sugar
1 beaten egg
10 fl oz coconut milk drink



Mix dry ingredients together
mix wet ingredients together

combine the two, then add 4oz raspberries.

Spoon into muffin cases and bake for 15-20 mins at 180 oC




Cheese Scones

7 oz  light brown self raising flour
2 oz oatbran
pinch salt
2 teaspoon baking powder
1.5 oz flora margarine diced
4 oz grated cheese
1/4 pint milk
1/4 teaspoon mustard powder



dizzolve the mustard powder in the milk
mix dry ingredients together, then rub in the margarine
add the milk and mustard and combine
roll out to a large circle and place onto a greased baking tin. Cut large scone into 8, separate out and cook for approx 12 mins at 200 oC







Mint barm cake

This is one I make regularly, here is a previous recipe


This is a favourite in my house, nice fat free loaf; this time I made it seasonal by adding mint leaves to the tea and left them while it all infused

I had no vine fruits left so I used a mix of apricots, figs, cranberries and  barberries
