Diabetic Fruit Muffins

Submitted by Tisme

"My husband is always looking for something different to eat on his night shifts. He loves his fruit cake, but me working full time, I find it difficult to get the time to make his fruit cake then I found this recipe on A.B.C. and make them for him every now and then for a change. I like to use mini muffin pans for these as it makes them go a little further."

I made these in paper patty cake cases and got 23 muffins (which I estimated at 10.7g per muffin). Tasted while warm (when peeling the paper off it took a fair bit of muffin with it - scraped it off - too good to waste). Will freeze some and see how they heat up in the microwave when defrosted. DM says a big thank you for a yummy treat. Made for Make My Recipe - a game of tag - Everyone Welcome.
