Ingredients

1/4 cup slivered almonds
1/4 cup granulated sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
2 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 (12 oz) tube buttermilk biscuits

For the streusel topping: Combine the almonds, sugar, 2 tablespoons butter, flour and cinnamon in a food processor and pulse until large crumbs form.
For the coffee cake: Preheat the oven to 375 °F.
In a 9-inch cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet, cook the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and brown sugar over medium heat until melted. Arrange the biscuits in a single layer in the skillet. Scatter the blueberries over the biscuits, and then distribute the streusel topping over the berries. Bake until the biscuits are golden and a tester inserted in the center of a biscuit comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Allow to cool slightly and serve from the skillet.

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.
