About a month and a half back I had borrowed the book Canada’s 150 Best Diabetes Desserts from the library. At that time I was contemplating going on a sugar free diet, so this book really intrigued me. The reason I chose to borrow this book was that artificial sweeteners were not used in the recipes. I already had cut way back on baking and it was just once or twice a month. So I thought it would be a good idea to cut back on the sugar even during those few occasions.

Finally I baked some muffins after a long break. All these days something was stopping me from getting into the kitchen for baking. But now that I have baked these double chocolate muffins, I have sort of got into the baking mood and all I can think of now is what can I bake next. For me baking is addictive, once I start it there is no stopping. The only bad thing about this is that I will start packing pounds eating all of it. Already the 2 months vacation in India, Navarathiri and Diwali celebrations has sent the scales tipping way more than it should be. I have to find some way to enjoy baking and also not to gain weight. Any suggestions?

Happy Deepavali dear friends. Hope you are all having a good time. I managed to make a couple of sweets and snacks this time more than I used to make earlier, because my eldest son has started showing interest in Indian food after our recent trip to Chennai.

Overripe bananas is not at all a problem in our house. In fact I deliberately leave some bananas to become mushy to bake my family’s favorite vegan banana bread and chocolate banana cake. This time I wanted to try something little different as I had some leftover strawberries too. The strawberries were not enough to make something just out of it. So I went to my favorite website and found this recipe for some gorgeous strawberry banana muffins. I didn’t think twice before deciding to bake it because I knew that it will definitely be good and sure it was. With some more sugar, the muffins would have been just perfect.
