Abstract
Consuming desserts has always been a constraint for diabetic patients as it leads to elevation in blood glucose levels. While carrots and oats are essential for visual function and high fibre content respectively, they have a potential role in preventing diabetic complications. Thus, NUTRI-DESSERT (Carrot Oatmeal Muffins) was a modification of traditional cupcakes which werenot suitable for consumption especially for diabetics. NUTRI-DESSERT is a special treat for diabetics in respect of its high nutritive value and low glucose contentas oats contains high soluble fibre which delays glucose absorption. Whole wheat flour being rich in fibre enriches the cake with B -Complex vitamins compared to white flour. Carrot acts as an anti-inflammatory agent to reduce risk of diabetic complications. Replacing sugar with natural sweetener ashoney makes it diabetic friendly. PUFA is known to be anti-atherogenicthus usage of vegetable oil over butter (saturated fat) adds special value to it. This modified NUDRI-DESSERT with low glycemic impact wasan ideal dessert for diabetic subjects who usually have sugar cravings. This modification showed that substitution of sugar with honey and dates did not alter its palatability. Above facts also enhances uniqueness and should be promoted for consumption by discarding the misconception that they cannot have desserts.
