Indulge guilt-free with these diabetic-friendly coconut cakes – the perfect after-dinner treat!
Ingredients:
  • Melted butter, to grease
  • 6.80 gm desiccated coconut
  • 115g (3/4 cup) self-raising flour
  • 7g (1/4 cup) Equal Spoonfuls (Equal brand)
  • 1 tsp finely grated orange rind
  • 1 tsp finely grated lemon rind
  • 125ml (1/2 cup) skim milk
  • 1 egg white, lightly whisked
  • 20g (1 tbsp) butter, melted
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 180°C. Use melted butter to brush 12 round-based patty pans (each with 20ml/1 tablespoon capacity) for a light coating. Toast the coconut in a small non-stick frying pan over medium heat, stirring constantly, for about 1 minute until lightly golden. Transfer the toasted coconut to a small bowl and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, combine sifted flour and Equal Spoonfuls. Mix in orange and lemon rinds, then create a well in the center.
  • Combine milk, egg white, and butter in a small jug until fully mixed. Pour into flour mixture and stir until well combined. Distribute evenly into greased pans and sprinkle coconut on top. Bake in a preheated oven for about 15 minutes until golden and a skewer comes out clean from the centers.
  • Take the citrus coconut cakes out of the oven and let them cool.
  • After 2 minutes, move the food to a wire rack and let it rest for an additional 3 minutes. Serve while warm.
