Health benefits of Triple-Berry Muffins Recipe | MyRecipes

Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Lemons are also rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and other antioxidants. They can potentially support the immune system and have other health benefits. Lemons also have a low glycemic index, so they should not cause a rapid rise in blood sugar when consumed in natural form.

Ingredients

1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest
1 cup nonfat buttermilk
1/3 cup canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 cup white whole-wheat flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup fresh raspberries
1/2 cup fresh blueberries
1/2 cup fresh strawberries

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 °. Coat a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or line with paper liners, if you prefer.
Combine sugar and lemon zest in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until zest is incorporated into sugar and fragrant. Add buttermilk, oil, vanilla, and egg to processor; pulse until just combined.
Combine flours, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add the buttermilk mixture to bowl and stir gently until almost blended. Gently divide batter equally among 3 separate bowls; fold raspberries into 1/3 of batter, blueberries into another 1/3 of batter, and strawberries into remaining 1/3 of batter. Equally divide the batters among prepared muffin cups.
Bake at 400 ° until golden brown, about 16 to 18 minutes. Let muffins cool in pan for 5 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack.
