I need a diabetic biscotti recipe!?

Question

Something with as little sugar as possible, maybe with Splenda? I was looking for something with chocolate flavoring. Help!

Answer 1

"Chocolate Nut Biscotti"

24 cookies 1 hr

RECIPE INGREDIENTS

2 cups all purpose flour 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/2 cup butter or margarine 1 cup granulated sugar 1 lg egg 1 cup M&Ms semi sweet or milk chocolate baking bits 3/4 cup chopped nuts
RECIPE METHOD

Preheat oven to 350 F In a bowl combine flour, cinnamon, baking soda and baking powder; set aside.
In a medium bowl cream together butter and sugar; add egg and mix well.
Blend in flour mixture. Stir in baking bits and nuts. Divide dough in half. With floured hands, shape each portion of dough into a 2 X12 inch log and place on a greased cookie sheet about 4 inches apart.
Bake 25 to 27 minutes or until firm. Remove pan from oven and cool logs for 30 to 40 minutes. Slice each log into 12 pieces, and place cut side down on cookie sheet.
Bake for 10 more minutes. For a softer biscotti, omit second baking. Cool biscotti completely on rack before serving.

You can replace the sugar with 1/3 cup of your favorite sweetner. Something else that adds a sweet taste to what you are cooking is almond extract. It doesnt have much sugar in it so it shouldnt hurt anything. I use it all the time to sweeten things that I fix for my father. If you try it I hope you like it. I do. Happy Thanksgiving!

Answer 4

I agree with the woman who has the diabetic child. I am a Type I, diagnosed as a 4 year old decades ago. I too find that Splenda and other sugar substitutes do affect my blood sugar. Completely avoid anything labelled "low carb." They make it low carb by adding tons of sugar substitutes that may not affect carb count for non-diabetics, but do a terrible job on the blood sugar of a diabetic. Go for the real thing and just be sure to accomdate for the extra carbs and don't overeat. A helpful tip I found is that the higher in fat the cake is the less sugar it usually has. Therefore, my favorite choices are cheescakes from a good baker who knows a quality cheesecake does not need tons of sugar.

Answer 5

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.

I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.

I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

It's not the sugar that is the problem to diabetics; it is the carborhydrates so the flour would be worse than the sugar
