Agave Nectar Chocolate Muffins Healthy

I just came up with this recipe last night, it's healthy, has some fiber and protein and best of all CHOCOLATE. This recipe turned out better than expected with a nice rise and moist texture. I ate one warm topped with whip cream. My kids had it for breakfast and I didn't feel bad at all, after all cocoa is good for us in moderation!


Healthy High Fiber Chocolate Agave Muffins

1/2 cup boiled water
1/2 cup Trader Joe's unsweetened cocoa

1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup Trader Joe's wheat flour
1/2 cup Trader Joe's almond meal
1/2 ground flax seed
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 cup Trader Joe's vanilla soy protein powder
1/2 tsp sea salt

1/2 cup Trader Joe's agave nectar
1/4 c. oil
2 eggs
1/2 cup Smart Balance sour cream
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup milk


Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a muffin pan.
In medium bowl wisk water and cocoa, set aside to cool. In large bowl mix the rest of the dry ingredients.
After the cocoa mixture has cooled wisk the rest of the ingredients with it then add to the dry ingredients. Mix together and pour into prepared muffin pan. Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes.

Chocolate Coconut Agave Cake Diabetic Friendly

Chocolate Coconut Agave Cake Recipe I made this layer cake yesterday for my diabetic husband's birthday. It was such a hit, I will definitely be making this again. The coconut oil really gives it a unique flavor plus it's good for you! It came out prettier than the picture but this was the best shot I could get since we already ate half of it. This cake is not low fat by any means, it's super moist, yet fluffy. You would never guess it's sugar free. If you've never tried agave syrup as a sugar substitute I urge you to give it a try. It doesn't spike your blood glucose like sugar and it's better than artificial sweeteners in my opinion. It does have carbs/calories but my husband can eat desserts made with agave without his blood sugar going high or low. 1 C. boiling water 1 C. unsweetened cocoa powder 1/2 C. butter 1/2 C. Coconut Oil 2 C. agave syrup (I use Trader Joe's) 1/2 C. sour cream (I used lite) 4 eggs 2 3/4 C. all purpose flour 2 tsp ...

No Bake Agave Syrup Raspberry Cheesecake

No Bake Cheesecake Bites Made with Agave Syrup These are low in sugar and a low glycemic index food so it's a great dessert - at least for my type 1 diabetic husband! It's not quite sugar free since it's made with graham crackers but this delicious dessert is very low in sugar (warning - it does have carbs!). If you're not familiar with agave syrup you must give it a try. I've been baking with it ever since my husband discovered he could eat it without spiking his blood sugar levels. I came up with this fun and easy summer dessert today after finding some fresh raspberries at the farmers market for $2 a basket. Raspberry topping: 1 basket of fresh raspberries 1/4 cup raw agave syrup (I used Trader Joe's) 1 tablespoon cornstarch 1/4 cup cold water Mix corn starch and water in small bowl & set aside. In a small saucepan bring raspberries & agave just to boiling, slowing stir in cornstarch mixture and stir until thickened. Remove from heat and ...
