Generally, there's no advantage to substituting honey for sugar in a diabetes eating plan. Both honey and sugar will affect your blood sugar level. Honey is sweeter than granulated sugar, so you might use a smaller amount of honey for sugar in some recipes.

Darn!!

Thanks, Grannie!

I use real sugar, that artificial stuff leaves a bad taste. I just use less.

I just tried a new muffin recipe with 1 cup almond flour, 3 eggs, 1/4 tsp baking soda, 1 teaspoon lemon and 2 tablespoons honey (I think I could experiment and add cocoa powder (unflavored) and/or almond extract or vanilla or whatever....ANYWAY, cook for 17 minutes in a well sprayed pan or lite sprayed paper, and they are only 4 carbs each one....made 9.
I was pleased...and the honey seemed to really add flavor without much damage to the carb count.

Blueviolet, that sounds like a delicious recipe. But do you really need the honey? I am going to try without the honey, and see how it tastes. Thanks for sharing it. But at what temperature do you set the oven at?

I think it was 350. and the honey added flavor, not just sweetness.
anyway, it is using the almond flour instead of flour that saves so much in carbs. Almonds also are great instead of pie crusts, bottoms of cheesecakes etc.

wow, I never thought of that. I love making pies and I will definitely try it. Thanks for the information. Hugs.

Thanks for the recipe, blue violet!!

I love the carbs < 5 that dont count!!

Your recipe sounds deliticious!

but you got to watch how many portions of those less than 5 carbs you eat LOL

Just eat a healthy diet and you will be fine as long as you stick to portion size, don't eat 2 and 3 portions, and with sweets eat about 1/2 portion so you don't get into where you will crave them, and of course watch the sat fats, etc.
