1 ½ tsp cinnamon
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
1 egg
3 ripe bananas, mashed
1 ¾ cups milk of choice
1 tsp vanilla extract
⅓ cup chopped pecans (or walnuts)
¼ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (I used mini chocolate chips)

Directions:
-Preheat oven to 375°F and grease a 9x9 baking dish. Mix all ingredients together until well combined.
-Pour into baking dish and top with extra pecans and chocolate chips if desired.

We’re pro sweet treat around here! 🍪🍰🍩🍭🍦

If you’re trying to figure out what actually makes a dessert “GDM or DM friendly,” it’s not about cutting dessert out completely, it’s about building it in a way that won’t spike your blood sugar and leave you crashing later.

Here’s the simple formula I use 👇

A GDM/DM-friendly dessert usually has:
🍭Carbs + fiber together (slows the sugar hit)
🍭Protein or fat included (keeps blood sugar steadier + more satisfying)
🍭Portion awareness
🍭Lower added sugar when possible
🍭Real food ingredients > ultra-processed sugar bombs

It’s also better to have a dessert after a balanced meal or as an afternoon snack paired with protein (like yogurt, nuts, or cheese) for optimal blood sugar stability.

Save this or send to a friend who’s currently navigating GDM or DM 💕

These are seriously the easiest, most flavorful enchiladas you’ll ever make!! And once you make them once, you basically don’t need the recipe again. It turns into a true no-brain-cell dinner that just works every time. 🧠🙅🏼‍♀️

Serves 6
Ingredients
1 12oz container enchilada sauce (I used Trader Joe’s enchilada sauce)
1 pound 93/7 lean ground beef
1/3 cup + 1/2 cup shredded Mexican cheese, divided (Trader Joe’s shredded Mexican cheese)
1 bell pepper, chopped
1/2 onion, chopped
2 Tbsp taco seasoning (I love Costco’s or Siete)
6 tortillas (I used Trader Joe’s Sonora Style Flour Tortillas, but La Banderita Carb Counter tortillas also work great)

Directions
-Start by browning one pound of 93/7 lean ground beef in a skillet. Once it’s almost fully cooked, add in your taco seasoning along with the chopped bell pepper and onion, and cook until the veggies are tender and everything is fully combined.

-Turn off the heat and stir in 1/3 cup of shredded Mexican cheese so it melts slightly into the mixture and helps it all come together.

-Warm your tortillas in the microwave for about 10–20 seconds so they’re soft and easy to roll. I usually use Trader Joe’s Sonora Style Flour Tortillas, but La Banderita Carb Counter tortillas also work great if you want a lighter option.

-Pour a thin layer of enchilada sauce into the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish.

-Fill each tortilla with about 1/3 cup of the beef mixture, roll them up, and place them seam-side down in the dish.

-Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the top, then sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheese.

-Bake at 375°F for about 10 minutes, just until everything is hot and the cheese is melted.

-Serve and enjoy.

I pared it with Trader Joe’s Elote salad kit.

Macros per enchilada:
With Trader Joe’s Sonora Style Flour Tortilla: 375 calories, 22g protein, 35g carbs, 16g fat.

With La Banderita Carb Counter Tortilla: 300 calories, 22g protein, 21g carbs, 13g fat.
