I had the great pleasure of spending some time cooking with a young Type 1 diabetic the other night and come up with a recipe for a muffin that would work as a ‘free’ snack while including her favorite ingredients. We also worked on other “free” treats that I will be posting later. These muffins are perfect for her when she is hungry but her blood sugar level is too high for snacks with over 10 carbs. Coming in at just 3g carbs per mini muffin and lots of great fiber and protein, these muffins are gluten free, dairy free optional (substitute coconut oil for the butter) and delicious!
