Health and fertility benefits of Glazed Blueberry Streusel Muffins Recipe

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). Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to.

Ingredients

1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugars, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. In a small bowl, whisk the egg, milk and butter. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in blueberries and lemon peel. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full.
Combine topping ingredients; sprinkle over batter. Bake at 350 ° for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Combine glaze ingredients until smooth; drizzle over warm muffins.
