Health benefits of Blueberry Muffins with Lemon Blackberry Glaze

Agave, a sweetener derived from the core of the agave plant, is frequently highlighted in nutritional discussions due to its notably low glycemic index (GI) rating. With a GI score of just 17, it stands out from many other natural sweeteners and sugars that often have higher GI values. For those unfamiliar with the term, the glycemic index is a measure that ranks foods based on how significantly they raise blood glucose (sugar) levels after consumption. Foods with a lower GI value are absorbed more slowly and cause a more gradual rise in blood sugar levels, which is particularly crucial for individuals managing conditions like PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome).

Ingredients

1 2/3 cups almond meal
1 cup golden flax meal (about 3/4 cup whole seeds ground into powder)
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
2 tablespoons agave syrup
1 tablespoon alcohol-free vanilla extract, or the seeds from 1 vanilla bean
1 tablespoon liquid coconut oil
1/3 cup filtered water, as needed
1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

Instructions

To make the muffins, mix together the almond meal, flax meal, and salt in a mixing bowl. Add the agave syrup, vanilla, and coconut oil and mix well. Add the water and mix to a batter consistency. Fold in the blueberries.
Place 6 cupcake liners into a muffin pan and spoon about 1/2 cup dough into each. Place the pan in the dehydrator and dehydrate at 104 °F for 4 to 6 hours, until the batter is dry and to desired consistency.
To make the glaze, combine the cashews, blackberry juice, lemon juice, agave syrup, and water in the Personal Blender with the 1-cup container and blend until smooth.
To serve, frost each muffin with the glaze.
