Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 325 °F. Grease loaf pans with melted butter.
-
Toast almonds on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing once or twice, until golden brown and fragrant, 6 –8 minutes. Coarsely chop zest, apricots, plums, and toasted almonds. Transfer to a small bowl.
-
Bring honey, milk, salt, cinnamon, and star anise to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Meanwhile, whisk flour, baking powder, spice mix, and baking soda in a large bowl.
-
Strain honey mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into dry ingredients and whisk to combine. Add eggs and whisk until incorporated. Using a spatula, quickly fold in zest mixture.
-
Divide dough between prepared pans, filling each about three-quarters full. Bake bread until tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, 35 –40 minutes.
-
Let bread cool 10 minutes in pan, then carefully remove from pan and transfer to a wire rack.
Why this French Spiced Bread 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 French Spiced Bread works best as an occasional post-dinner option rather than a standalone snack.
