Delicious Diabetic Carrot Cake Muffins image

These carrot cakes make a great lunch box treat or snack for diabetics. The only "sugar" is a light dusting of powdered sugar, which could be left off. If you choose to make them "non-diabetic", frost with cream cheese icing.

Time 30m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups self-rising flour
1 egg
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup Splenda brown sugar blend (see note at bottom)
1/2 cup butter, melted
3/4 cup pureed carrot (I use canned)
1/3 cup unsweetened crushed canned pineapple, drained
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
1/2 cup unsweetened dried shredded coconut

Steps:

  • NOTE: When substituting real brown sugar for the Splenda, use 1/2 cup, as the Splenda is double strength.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners.
  • Beat together the egg and brown sugar. Stir in the butter, sour cream, pureed carrots, pineapple, and vanilla.
  • Add the dry ingredients and stir just until blended.
  • Fold in the nuts and coconut.
  • Fill the muffin cups 3/4 full. Bake 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Cool in pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
