Before I became sugar free I was the baking queen.
There were always pikelets or brownies or muffins or something sweet cooking in my oven.
When I stopped eating sugar, I stuffed around with a lot of dextrose and stevia and all those other sugar substitutes. But you know what? I don’t want to eat sweet food anymore so I don’t make them. If I do, it’s usually only out of guilt of depriving the kids of their Tiny Teddy’s.
So I’m in the kitchen still (a lot) but you won’t find my benchtops covered in choc bits.
Here is a recipe I developed for the Thermomix. This one made recipe of the day last week on the Thermomix Recipe Community (yeah such a show off I know!) you can find it here.
For those of you who don’t have a Thermomix here is the recipe:
Very Veggie Fritters
1 Large peeled carrot
1 Large peeled onion
1 Cup uncooked peeled Pumpkin
1 Large zucchini
1 Large Free Range Egg
1 Cup Plain Flour (Or Gluten Free Plain Flour)
salt to taste
Grate all vegetables either by hand with a grater or using a food processor. Add egg and flour and combine well, add salt to taste.
Heat Olive Oil and butter in a frypan. Gather mixture with your hands to make little patties. Cook on both sides until golden brown.
Serve with a little cream cheese, topped with grated cheddar cheese.
Makes a great party food. Top them with cream cheese and smoked salmon.

Interesting to hear you've given up on the dextrose and stevia. I feel the same – why bother. I don't like the taste of Stevia anyway
Oh yes Nom Nom…definitely 🙂
This is going to be a MUST on my things to make a.s.a.p 🙂 x YUM
Mmm they look delicious – I will also be adding these onto my things to make list 🙂
Oh wow! These are SO on my list. 😀
I tried these the other night and they were delicious! Which I'd taken a photo of them 🙂
It’s great that there are Thermomix recipes all over the internet and even books that can be bought. That’s one of the first things I did before buying a Thermomix, I checked out some of the things you can make with the machine and I wasn’t disappointed.
I'm sitting on the computer going "I'm so hungry, what can i have for lunch?!!" Jump onto your blog and find this baby! This was SO easy to whip up in the thermo and so yummy! Miss 11months loved it too! xx
Sounds food, would it work as a slice/bake as well do you think?
I’m not sure Kerry! By all means give it a try and let us know. I’m not sure if it would stick together….
I just made these for the first time. They are so crispy and healthy! I used rice flour as I don’t know what is the best gluten free flour for this kind of thing! Seemed to work OK!!
