I just went to take pictures of my moist, delicious muffins, but they're all gone! I usually make my muffins with some ground dates or prunes and some brown or white sugar, but this is the fist time I've attempted to make muffins with no sugar. I don't know if these are technically diabetic approved, but you can surely eat them and feed them to your family with less guilt. I am no expert, but my understanding is that the fiber in the fruits, vegetables, and whole wheat flour, as well as the beneficial effects of cinnamon, should slow the body's conversion of the ingredients into simple sugars (needing insulin) making them low-glycemic. I welcome anyone who can comment on this.
Here's what you need to make about 2 dozen small/medium muffins:
