Health and fertility benefits of Honey Date Pudding Cake

One tbsp of honey has a glycemic index (GI) of 55. Nuts are a natural source of Inositol, a derivative of Vitamin B (which is often prescribed in the form of supplements for women with PCOS). Inositol can effectively control the symptoms of PCOS by reducing insulin resistance and improving insulin sensitivity. Walnuts are low on the glycemic index. What’s more, they also lower the glycemic index of other foods that you eat in conjunction with these nuts. Any kind of nuts provide a healthy source of fat and a great way to encourage PCOS weight loss.

Ingredients

8 tablespoons unsalted Maine butter
3 3/4 cups honey
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup buckwheat flour
1 1/2 teaspoons non-aluminum baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup dates, chopped
1 cup black walnuts, toasted and chopped

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat a cast-iron pot until warm, and then remove and add 3 tablespoons of the butter and coat the bottom of the pan and 2 to 3 inches up the sides with a wooden spoon. Add 1 scant cup of the honey and the buttermilk and whisk until combined. Whisk together the flours, baking powder and salt in a separate bowl, and then pour into the wet mixture with the dates and walnuts and mix until combined. Mix together the remaining honey, butter and 1 1/2 cups water in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, and then pour over the batter in the cast-iron pot. DO NOT MIX. Cover and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
