Agave Chocolate Tea Diabetic Recipe

It's 3pm, time for tea! I don't usually sweeten my tea but today I was craving something chocolatey so this is what I came up with. I'm sitting here sipping it as I share this recipe with you. It's easy, delicious and diabetic friendly :)

Grab your favorite microwavable mug, add about 2 tablespoons of low fat milk with about 8 oz of water along with 1 heaping teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa powder and 2 teaspoons of agave syrup. Stir and then microwave on high for 2 minutes. (Note: cocoa powder will not stir in very well until after it's heated with the water so don't worry!) Remove from microwave, stir some more and add a teabag. I used Lipton tea. Let sit for about 2 minutes and then enjoy your chocolate tea!

Ingredient List:

water
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons agave syrup
1 tea bag

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 ...

Easy Agave Buttery Cinnamon Vanilla Muffins

Yum!!! These muffins are so SO perfect, so buttery with just the right crispiness on the edges and soft texture in the middle. Made with agave syrup, even my diabetic husband was able to enjoy one. I could totally pig out on these muffins if I'm not careful! This recipe is only for 6 muffins, but of course you can double or triple it! 1/3 cup agave syrup 1/4 cup butter 1 tsp pure vanilla extract 1 egg 3/4 cup flour 1/4 cup almond flour 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp salt 1 tsp cinnamon Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 6 muffin cups with cooking spray. Melt butter, stir in agave syrup and vanilla. Beat in egg with fork. Add remaining ingredients and beat well with fork. Fill muffin cups about 1/2 way full. Bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Cool 10 minutes and enjoy!

Agave Barbecue Beef & Biscuits

This was a huge hit at my house tonight! I used mostly foods from Trader Joe's (because they're so delicious) but you can use whatever you can find of course. 1 can Trader Joe's refrigerated buttermilk biscuits 1/2 cup Trader Joe's organic ketchup 1 pound ground beef 1/4 C. Trader Joe's agave syrup 1 tablespoon balsmic vinegar 1 teaspoon chili powder 1 C. shredded cheddar cheese 1 tablespoon minced onion 1 tablespoon garlic powder 1/4 C. Trader Joe's marinara sauce Spray a 12 cup muffin tin, preheat oven to 375 degrees. Tear dough to make 12 biscuits (about 3/4 of a biscuit) and shape into 5 inch circles. Press each into the bottom and up sides of muffin cups; set aside. In a skillet, brown the ground beef and drain. In a small bowl mix remaining ingredients and add to meat, mix well. Divide meat mixture among the twelve biscuit lined cups and then top with cheese. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.
