Here is an update on the muffins bas...Hi Addielyn,<br /><br />Here is an update on the muffins based on my test batches this week. Firstly, the amount of my two bananas once creamed ended up being about 7/8 cup (i.e. 1 cup minus 2 tbsp). <br /><br />I still didn't seem to have the problem of them being particularly wet, they were relatively flat but this recipe doesn't necessarily produce the "puffiest" muffins. However, two variations that I tried might get you results closer to your preference:<br /><br />1. I increased the whole wheat flour by 1/4 cup for one batch. It produced a slightly stiffer muffin, the taste was similar to the original recipe.<br /><br />2. In another variation I replaced the flax with 1/4 cup whole wheat flour. These muffins puffed up quite nicely for me, so they had nice rounded tops.<br /><br />Anyway, I hope that these options might help! Another suggestion would be to let them bake for another few minutes, just keep an eye on them to ensure that they don't get too brown. Also, you might want to let the batter rest for a few minutes before spooning into the muffin tins - this might give the baking soda some more opportunity to create bubbles in the batter.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17724746153086051275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494751997774441337.post-13473651761457768072013-02-13T19:00:56.828-08:002013-02-13T19:00:56.828-08:00I'm sorry to hear that they didn't work ou...I'm sorry to hear that they didn't work out for you :( I've made these several times now and they've always have the texture of a rather moist muffin. When you mentioned that they turned out flat, do you mean that they just weren't rounded on the top or did they actually collapse in the middle? Also, did you bake with flax and what flour did you use?<br /><br />Hmm... It's hard for me to say without being there, but off the top of my head here are a few tips (only try one of these adaptations per batch):<br />1. Try increasing the sugar to 3/4 cup<br />2. Try increasing the flour by 1/4 cup<br />3. Try decreasing the milk to 1/2 cup<br />I've never tried any of the above things so I can't say that they will work. The other potential hiccup with this recipe (and many other banana-based cake recipes) is getting the proportion right for each baker - the bananas I use could be much bigger or smaller than yours or the their ripeness may have differed.<br /><br />I will probably have the chance to make these again in the next week or so. When I do, I'll try a few different things and I'll actually measure the amount of banana once its creamed. <br /><br />Hopefully this will help - I totally understand, no one likes missing out on her muffins for breakfast ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17724746153086051275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494751997774441337.post-91134043769299268902013-02-13T12:15:12.721-08:002013-02-13T12:15:12.721-08:00I tried to make these today, but they turned out f...I tried to make these today, but they turned out flat and wet looking. What did I do wrong? I don't know if they are supposed to be like this or not. I was really sad, because these were going to be my breakfast and it was already 10:00. I would love to try making these again, but better.

There is a lot of interesting research out there about blood-sugar and glycemic theory. I for one had never realized how complex the diabetes issue was until my father was diagnosed. <br /><br />P.S. Sarah, thanks for sharing the sauce recipe! I might try it out myself so that I can get my preferred balance of acidity versus sweetness compared to the the store-bought version.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17724746153086051275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494751997774441337.post-39227515655303120542013-01-26T14:44:01.686-08:002013-01-26T14:44:01.686-08:00Ran across your blog from a Blisstree post, great ...Ran across your blog from a Blisstree post, great looking recipes! <br /><br />I am also working on a new recipe search engine, and I thought, as a food blogger, you might be interested.

(ALSO...you may find it interesting to know that oats aren't so healthy for diabetics - they have a tendency to raise blood-sugar levels. I know this is hard to believe, because of how healthy oats are claimed to be and that is why I suggest doing your own research and not taking what I say word-for-word.) I guess it should be added that although a food may have a high/higher GI, it can be balanced with the addition of fibre and fat; nonetheless, all this information has made me reevaluate providing diabetics with lots of grains.
