Instructions

  1. Prepare cake mix for cupcakes as label directs.

  2. With mixer on medium speed, beat sugar, butter, milk, vanilla, and salt until smooth and well combined.

  3. Fill piping bag with 3/4 cup jam; snip tip off of bag. To fill cupcakes, insert tip of piping bag into top of cooled cupcake. Squeeze about 2 teaspoons jam into center. Repeat with remaining cupcakes.

  4. Without cleaning piping bag, cut tip to fit large round piping tip. Add buttercream and remaining 1/2 cup jam, alternating. Pipe onto cupcakes in swirl pattern. Garnish with strawberries, if desired.

Why this Strawberry Swirl Cupcakes works for PCOS

Desserts on a PCOS plan are not banned, but timing and pairing matter. Eating sweet foods immediately after a balanced meal (rather than on an empty stomach) blunts the blood sugar response, since protein and fat slow gastric emptying. This Strawberry Swirl Cupcakes works best as an occasional post-dinner option rather than a standalone snack.
