Sour Milk Muffins Diabetic Recipes

DIABETES-FRIENDLY LEMON BLACKBERRY SOUR CREAM MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Spray or butter a muffin tin (insides and tops to prevent the muffins from sticking with the puff up) and set aside.
• Zest a lemon, and set aside.
• Squeeze the juice of the lemon into a measuring cup over a sieve to catch the seeds and pips.
• Pour milk into the measuring cup to make up a half cup.
• Stir sour cream into the measuring cup.
• Stir in the zest and vanilla, and then set aside.
• Melt the butter and set aside to cool.
• In a large bowl, measure out the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and Splenda. Mix well.
• To the lemon and milk mixture, add the egg and whisk to combine.
• Next, add the cooled butter and mix well. Add this to the dry ingredients and mix just to combine.
• Do not over-mix - there may well be lumps but that's alright.
• Spoon batter into muffin tins, filling them halfway.
• Sprinkle a few berries in and then continue to fill the muffin tins to the top.
• Cut neufchatel into 9 squares, press each square into the top of each muffin.
• Top each muffin with a blackberry.
• Bake in a 400 F oven for 25 minutes until the tops are springy.
• Cool for a few minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool for 10-15 minutes.
