Health and fertility benefits of Peach and Passion Fruit Muffins

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

3/4 cup, plus 2 tablespoons almond flour
1/2 cup super-fine brown rice flour
1/4 cup potato starch
Fine sea salt
2 teaspoons gluten-free baking powder
1/2 cup unrefined cane sugar
Zest of 1 lemon, finely grated
1/4 cup coconut or almond milk
1/4 cup passion fruit pulp (from approximately 2 passion fruits)
2 tablespoons virgin coconut oil
1 large free-range egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 golden peach, finely diced, plus a few extra slices to top
Passion fruit pulp, to top

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 °. Line eight 1/2 cup-capacity muffin tins with paper liners.
Place almond flour in a medium bowl and sift over rice flour, potato starch, salt and baking powder. Add sugar and zest and whisk to combine.
In another bowl, combine coconut milk, passion fruit pulp, coconut oil, egg and vanilla, whisking well.
Stir the diced peach through the dry ingredients, add the coconut milk mixture and stir until just combined. Spoon into the muffin liners, top with a few slices of peach and a drizzle of passion fruit pulp and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and set aside for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
