1.3 ounces white rice flour (about 1/4 cup)
1 ounce stone-ground whole-grain corn flour (about 1/4 cup)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
1/4 cup vanilla almond milk
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs

Instructions

Weigh or lightly spoon flours into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flours, brown sugar, and next 4 ingredients (through allspice) in a medium bowl; stir with a whisk. Combine pumpkin, almond milk, oil, vanilla, and eggs; stir with a whisk. Add to flour mixture, stirring until smooth.

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.
