From the Sugar Happy Kitchen: Low Carb Keto Apple Walnut Cinnamon Muffins with Vegan Option
The origin of muffins comes from the United Kingdom. The American version is considered more of a cake, softer than their overseas counterpart, which resembles an English Muffin.
I like this particular recipe because it is filling. The glycemic index is low at 35, while the glycemic load is 6.
The load index is significant for people watching their blood sugars as it tells you how quickly it will raise your blood sugar. A glycemic load (GL) less than 10 is considered low.
The dense texture of the walnut cinnamon muffins is very filling when you eat one with a hot morning beverage. It is the perfect quick meal to get my day started.
