When I was a chef, refined sugar was in EVERYTHING. It made food taste good, but at what cost? Blood sugar spikes, insulin resistance, and inflammation. Now, I make smarter swaps—like using dates and low-GI fructose crystalline to sweeten my bakes. And since it’s Ramadan, this carrot cake is the perfect treat! 🍽️

🍰 Low-GI Carrot Cake Recipe

Dry ingredients:

100g rolled oats (GI - 55)
6g baking powder (1 1/4 tsp) (GI - 0)
1/2 tsp cinnamon (GI - 0)

2 eggs (GI - 0)
4-5 Medjool dates, pitted & soaked (then blended into a paste) (GI - 42)
15g fructose crystalline (GI - 19)

20g coconut oil / avocado oil / light olive oil (1.5 tbsp) (GI - 0)
90g big carrot, grated (GI - 39)
50g chopped walnuts (GI - 15)

✨ why this works? ✨
✅ Dates provide fiber + nutrients, slowing sugar absorption.
✅ Fructose crystalline has a low glycemic impact.
✅ Oats instead of refined flour = more fiber + steady energy.
