I wonder if this bread is ok for people who are diabetic. My boyfriend can't have sugar. Is there a substitute for honey?

[CharmingPixieFlora]

I don't think so. You could try not using any honey at all...

Wow, are those old pyrex bowls? I have a small collection of them myself and some of the old prints are very witchy. I love the ones that have pictures on them like wheat and farmers etc. Man, your set up looks so colorful. Retro Pyrex rules!

[CharmingPixieFlora]

Yes, these are the kind my mother had while I was growing up. My sister got all of us a set a few years back for Yule.

You say raisins/craisins, but would any dried fruit work in this recipe? I have a couple of bags of mixed dried fruit right now, and I'd rather use that then go out and buy more.

[CharmingPixieFlora]

Oh yes...any kind you like.

@ShoryoTombo depending on how sugar sensitive he is, mix, splenda and sugar together, i normally do like half and half for my moms stuff, Baking with just splenda you will get tastless flat hard things that no one will touch, also giving him smaller pieces will help. My mom is Daibetic and she tried eating right and she could not do it, so yeah.

You could google diabetic friendly honey, but NEVER give a kid under 2 yrs old anything with honey in it, unless a doctor says its ok.

@ShadowMaster5445 I believe it would be Fahrenheit.

[ShadowMaster5445]

I have a question is it 350 degrees in Celsius or Fahrenheit?

Love your video gonna make it to.

do i have to use nuts because my friend cant eat nuts

[tara37830]

@ShoryoTombo yeah once we made brownies with just splenda, they came out hard, crumbly and tastless like cardboard. we halved the sugar and splenda worked just like if we did sugar ..... but remember Too much splenda will give someone the runs bad if they eat alot of it.

And if you do use sugar with it, just don't let him eat alot of it. My mom will enjoy a piece of cake just a small piece.

I know there is another diabetic friend sweetener out there but i forgot the name, we're out of it
