thanks for that Cara,I'm diabetic so I will try it.
have you tried it yourself?
love Bunny xx

Yes Easter Bunny I have and my Mum is diabetic and she has made it and loves it, it is one of those cakes you can make and everyone will eat and not realise it is good for you. it is very moist and very moreish.

I'm not diabetic or on a diet (should be though) but I'm going to try it. It sounds yummy..............mmmm apple teabread.


Deb:)

good,I've been very naughty lately so this will help me get back on the right road -lol

It is good to naughty now and again.. lol this is sweet enough from the fruit so it will still give you that buzz you get from some of those naughty puds.

My Mum said that my Dad liked it and he warmed it up and had it with Custard...

Your cake recipe sounds good Cara.........will print it off and give you results!!
Mau :O)x

Great Mau let me know what you think.

I also have a recipe using weetabix which is like malt loaf. And if you don't like weetabix (as I don't) it's ok because it doesn't taste like weetabix at all.

Thanks Cara........I would have guessed! xx

No problem Mau....

Goes of to check... have not left anything else off...

Cholesterol Free Biscuits

Sounds great will have to give them ago

Recipe for Apple Teabread - just a note for diabetics it still has carbs which turn into 'sugar' in the flour, sultanas and apples - so a normal slice still has to take the place of something else which you were going to eat - although released more slowly. Jx

Thanks for the recipe.I have my 15 year old grandson coming to stay a week on thursday.He has been diabetic since he was 4 so i am going to make him some ready for his holiday with me. Annie

Sounds like a nice recipe Cara. but like Janice says there's natural sugar in it but MUCH better than added sugar. If I try it I will use wholemeal flour (recommended for diabetics). I've a couple of recipes and will look them up and try to remember to put them here - Brack and also muffins. I'm Type 2 diabetic - diet and exercise so always interested in suitable 'cake' things.

Thanks Cara sounds like a nice recipe, will try it next time when and if the baking bug hits me.
Doesn't happen often but who knows. lol

Just seen this going to have a go at both recipes Sounds really nice
