Mug Cakes (they're marvelous) and can be enjoyed by Diabetics and Non-Diabetics !

I think most readers would agree that diabetes and cakes does not sound like a great combination, as both flour and sugar will raise blood sugar levels and that is the last thing a diabetic wants or needs.

However, (good news) there are sugar substitutes that work quite well in most recipes and there are many different low carb flours and flour substitutes which may be used.

Low carb cakes can be delicious and do not raise blood sugar levels as a regular cake would, so if you are a diabetic and want to treat yourself to a cake you could consider trying a low carb cake recipe. In fact many non-diabetics, or those wishing to reduce sugar and carbs intake can enjoy these cakes too.

    Have never made a mug cake, as I don't have a microwave. They are great for when you just need a little treat.

    There are soooo many options these days. Even black bean cakes to get more goodness in there.

    And how ironic I don´t like sweets mostly! Someone has humor! Also... knock on wood!

    I’m always disappointed because I can’t have almond flour, but maybe the coconut flour would work.

    Sometimes a little bit of cake can be very satisfying. A mug cake means there are no leftovers!
