Hot Cross Buns - Diabetic Friendly

From Spinach1948: Hot Cross Buns Diabetic Friendly

There was no Recipe Challenge posted for this month, but I made these yummy buns for Good Friday. I'm not sure what makes the recipe diabetic friendly, but maybe it's the sugar substitute and fat-free milk?? I used regular sugar and Lactaid 2% milk and both worked great (more in my review). The whole time I was making them, all I could think of was the children's nursery rhyme: hot cross buns, hot cross buns, one-a-penny, two-a-penny, hot cross buns ;)

I know, I realized about a week in to April that I forgot to post a Recipe Challenge :( May 1st we will come back full force though!!

These look so good! I've never made hot cross buns. I'd have to leave out the raisins though...or substitute something. Love that nursery rhyme :P

I'm not a raisin fan, either, but my husband loves them, so I compromised and used currants, which I don't mind *too* much. I think these would taste good with dried cherries or Craisins - yum!

I bet any dried fruit would taste great in these! I was wondering how it could be diabetic friendly with the icing glaze! lol, ;)
I was just thinking last night that I don't recall a theme for April, or that it must have been a given to have Easter themed foods ;)

Yeah, I wondered why the recipe is posted as diabetic friendly, too, Cosmicmom. Whatever it is, it's good! :)

I've never made Hot Cross Buns, don't know why as I love them. I agree, this certainly doesn't look diabetic friendly to me.

Angel, I know these are supposed to be made for Good Friday, but we'd love them any time of the year!
