[Healthy_Recipes_For_Diabetic_Friends] Slow Cooker Gingerbread - 8.58g Carbs, 4.10g Fiber

 

 Slow Cooker Gingerbread - 8.58g Carbs, 4.10g Fiber

From: asweetlife.org - Carolyn Ketchum
Cooking a cake in your slow cooker is not only easy but results in an amazingly moist, dense consistency. It's more like an old-fashioned steamed pudding and it doesn't need much more than a bit of whipped cream on top for garnish. As since we are entering holiday season, I thought a slow cooker gingerbread was in order.

2 1/4 cups almond flour or sunflower seed flour
3/4 cup Swerve Sweetener
2 Tbsp coconut flour
1 Tbsp dark cocoa powder
1 1/2 Tbsp ground ginger (or more, if you like it really gingery)
1/2 Tbsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter, melted
4 large eggs
2/3 cup almond milk or water
1 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice (if using sunflower seed flour – helps keep it from turning green)
1 tsp vanilla extract

Grease the ceramic interior of a 6 quart slow cooker well.

In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour or sunflower seed flour, sweetener, coconut flour, cocoa powder, ginger, cinnamon, baking powder, cloves and salt.

Stir in melted butter, eggs, almond milk or water, lemon juice if using, and vanilla extract until well incorporated.

Pour into prepared slow cooker and cook on low for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, until set.

Serve with lightly sweetened whipped cream. It also makes a great breakfast treat with a little smear of butter!

[Healthy_Recipes_For_Diabetic_Friends] Crustless Basque Quiche

 

Crustless Basque Quiche

With tons of taste but little fat, this light and luscious quiche is the
perfect choice for breakfast, brunch or lunch. Serve with fresh fruit salad.

3 Tbsp bread crumbs
1 tsp canola oil
1/2 cup green onions, chopped
2 medium Roma tomatoes, juiced and chopped (about 3/4 cup)
6 oz ham, OR Canadian bacon, chopped (about 1 1/4 cups)
1/2 cup roasted red pepper, chopped, from a jar, patted dry
1 Tbsp cornstarch
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp cayenne
1 cup nonfat half and half
1 cup egg substitute
1 cup mozzarella cheese, reduced fat, shredded

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9 inch glass pie pan with
non-stick spray. Dust the bottom and sides of the pan with the
breadcrumbs and set aside.

Heat the oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the
onion; saute 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and saute until beginning to
soften, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the ham
and bell pepper. Spoon into the bottom of the prepared pan.

Place the cornstarch, salt and cayenne in a medium bowl; slowly whisk in
the half and half to blend. Whisk in the egg substitute and pour the
mixture into the pan. Top with the mozzarella.

Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until puffed and set. Let the quiche rest for
5 minutes before serving. Sprinkle chopped parsley on top, if desired.
Cut in wedges and serve.

Makes: 4 to 6 servings
