- GL 8 per 100 g This muffin offers a similar pastry-like experience but with a significantly lower GL of 8 compared to the danish's 31, leading to a much smaller blood sugar spike.
Almond flour carrot muffin (no added sugar) - GL 8 per 100 g These provide a satisfying, crunchy, and sweet treat with a GL of 8, which is far more blood-sugar friendly than the high-GL danish.
