Ingredients

3 c. all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. sugar, divided
1/2 c. brown sugar
12 tbsp. butter, melted (divided)
2 tbsp. plus 1 tsp. cinnamon
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 c. milk

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Add brown sugar, 1/2 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Whisk to combine. Add egg, milk and 8 tablespoons butter and stir until the mixture is smoother.
Scoop rounded tablespoons of batter into the greased muffin tin. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffin comes about clean, about 12 minutes. Let muffins cool slightly in pan for about 5 minutes then carefully remove them from the pan.
Mix the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and 2 tablespoons of cinnamon in a shallow bowl. Dunk each muffin in the remaining melted butter then toss in cinnamon-sugar mixture.

PCOS-Friendly Foods in This Recipe

This recipe contains the following foods that may benefit PCOS management: Cinnamon.

Cinnamon is one of the best ingredients that someone with insulin sensitivity can eat. Half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day has been shown to be very effective at normalizing blood sugar levels. Cinnamon contains hydroxychalcone, which is thought to enhance the effects of insulin. It has also been suggested that Cinnamon prevents post-meal blood sugar spikes by slowing the gastric emptying rate - meaning that food digests slowly.
