Recipe by Katherine Sacks This fun dessert magically turns store-bought ice cream into bread with a little help from self-rising flour. The butter pecan ice cream does double duty, adding caramelly sweetness and nutty crunch.

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 °F. Grease loaf pan with nonstick spray.

  2. Mix bananas, ice cream, flour, and sugar in a large bowl until smooth. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake bread, rotating pan halfway through, until top is golden brown and center is set, 55 –60 minutes.

  3. Transfer pan to a wire rack and let bread cool completely. Run a butter knife around perimeter of pan to loosen loaf, then tap pan gently on its side until loaf releases. Transfer to a cutting board and slice.

Why this Banana-Pecan Ice Cream Bread works for PCOS

Eating a substantial breakfast like this Banana-Pecan Ice Cream Bread is one of the highest-leverage moves you can make for PCOS. In the Jakubowicz et al. 2013 trial published in Clinical Science, women with PCOS who front-loaded calories to breakfast reduced fasting insulin by 56% and increased ovulation rates 50%, with no change in total calories. Front-loading works because insulin sensitivity is highest in the morning and lowest at night.
