Today we will prepare delicious muffins, in full compliance with the Dukan diet.

Did you know that
Erythritol is a polyol with a zero glycemic index. It provides only 0.2 Kcal / g and has a sweetening power equal to 70% compared to classic sugar (sucrose).
Alternatively, it is possible to use the TIC sweetener in drops (based on cyclamate and saccharin), which provides 0Kcal / g, or the sucralose, allowed in the Dukan diet.- Gradually mix the egg whites firmly until stiff in the cream obtained from bottom to top, until the mixture is homogeneous and without lumps.
- Place the paper or silicone cups in the appropriate muffin mold. Fill each individual mold with the cream obtained, up to half a centimeter from the edge.
- Place the mold in a hot oven (180 ° C) and bake for 15 minutes. Before removing the mold, leave the muffins to rest for 10 minutes with the oven off; then, remove the mold and take out the muffins.
- Dukan muffins can be stored in an airtight container or nylon bag for one week.

Dukan Diet Muffins are “almost” free of simple sugars, low in fat and high in protein. The overall energy intake is medium, but the cholesterol content precludes its use by those suffering from hypercholesterolemia. On the other hand, the portion of fiber is more than good, therefore it uses a decidedly moderate glycemic index! The average portion of Muffin Dieta Dukan corresponds to about 100g (about half a sweet IF produced in aluminum cups - 200kcal).
