*Pro Tips

Erythritol provides sweetness without raising blood glucose.

If preferred, replace milk with unsweetened almond milk for extra low‑glycemic benefit.
Why It's Diabetic-Friendly
The recipe relies on gram flour, a high‑protein, low‑glycemic ingredient, and replaces sugar with erythritol, keeping the overall glycemic load low. Portion size (one half‑cake per serving) provides moderate carbs (~20 g) and ample protein, making it suitable for diabetics when paired with a balanced meal.
