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. (Reference: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11506060). Brown rice is 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.

Ingredients

4.6 ounces brown rice flour (about 1 cup)
2.6 ounces white rice flour (about 1/2 cup)
1.8 ounces almond meal flour (about 1/2 cup)
1.3 ounces potato starch (about 1/4 cup)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/8 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3 large eggs
1 cup vanilla fat-free Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup low-fat buttermilk
1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
Cooking spray
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 1/2 tablespoons maple syrup
