Cinnamon Roll Pudding Pops - PCOS-Friendly Recipe
Nutrition per Serving
Key PCOS-Friendly Ingredients: Oat is high in soluble fiber (beta-glucan) that helps manage cholesterol. Cauliflower is a low-carb cruciferous vegetable that supports detoxification. Coconut is contains medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) for quick energy.
Healthy fats support hormone production and help your body absorb fat-soluble vitamins essential for reproductive health. Dietary fiber slows the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream, which is particularly important for managing the insulin resistance often seen in PCOS.
This recipe pairs well with a side of leafy greens or a simple mixed salad to add extra fiber and micronutrients to your snack.
Ingredients
- Cinnamon Roll “Oatmeal”
- 1 cup Crushed Pecans
- 1/3 cup Flax Seed Meal
- 1/3 cup Chia Seeds
- 1/2 cup Cauliflower, riced (~ 3 oz.)
- 3 1/2 cups Coconut Milk
- 1/4 cup Heavy Cream
- 3 oz. Cream Cheese
- 3 tbsp. Butter
- 1 1/2 tsp. Cinnamon
- 1 tsp. Maple Flavor
- 1/2 tsp. Vanilla
- 1/4 tsp. Nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp. Allspice
- 3 tbsp. Erythritol, powdered
- 10-15 drops Liquid Stevia
- 1/8 tsp. Xanthan Gum (optional)
Instructions
- Take whatever amount you want of the Cinnamon Roll “Oatmeal” recipe you have made and stick it in the blender. Blend it up as much as you want (or not at all). I feel it helps with the texture and freezing of the final popsicles.
- Spoon the mixture into your popsicle mold. It takes about 1/4 cup to fill each up.
- Using your spoon, slide it into and out of the popsicle mold to get out any air bubbles that may be inside. Make sure that you don’t overfill the molds because the top will stick to them otherwise.
- Put the lid on top of the popsicle molds and slide the popsicle sticks into the slots at the top. You don’t want them to go all the way to the bottom.
- Put the popsicle mold into the freezer and allow to freeze completely. This can take 3-4 hours (and can stay in your freezer as long as you want).
- Run a hot water bath in your sink and submerge the popsicle molds into the hot water for 20-30 seconds.
- Take the lid off of the popsicle mold, pulling and wiggling the popsicles as you pull. They should come out quite easily. Enjoy!
