Recipe by Lorraine Pascale I have lots of people asking me to create gluten-free recipes that do not just rely on the gluten-free flour that can be found in the shops. I have experimented with almond flour (ground almonds), but find that the resulting ba

Ingredients

1 1/3 cup gluten-free oats, divided
1 2/3 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/2 cup Medjool dates, pitted
1 free-range egg
2 teaspoons gluten-free baking powder
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2/3 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 °F. Line a muffin tin with 12 paper muffin cases.
Put 1 1/4 cups of the oats into a food processor and blitz them until they form a fine powder. Then add the almond milk, dates, egg, baking powder, and cinnamon and blitz together to give a fairly smooth and sloppy mixture.
Tip the mixture into a large bowl and gently stir in the blueberries until well mixed through. Divide the mixture evenly among the 12 muffin cases. I like to use a mechanical ice cream scoop to do this.
Sprinkle over the remaining oats and bake in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until the muffins are cooked through.
Remove from the oven and leave to cool a little before tucking in.

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.
