Ingredients
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 1 cup plus 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
- 1 stick plus 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Special equipment: a mini muffin tin
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a mini muffin tin liberally with nonstick spray.
- Whisk 3 tablespoons of the sugar, the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together in a medium bowl. In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vanilla, orange zest, 2 tablespoons of the melted butter and the egg until just combined.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Scoop the batter into the mini muffin tin and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool slightly and then remove from the pan.
- Pour the remaining 1 stick melted butter in a small bowl and, in a separate medium bowl, mix together the remaining 1 cup sugar and the cinnamon. Brush the muffin tops with the melted butter and roll in the cinnamon sugar, tapping off any excess. Serve warm.
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.
