Health benefits of Cinnamon Oatmeal Pancakes

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).

Ingredients

2 large egg whites
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 dash salt
3 packets instant oatmeal
1/2 tsp baking powder
3 packets sweetener
3 oz fat free milk

Instructions

1. Combine oats with all the other ingredients in a bowl and mix well until a batter forms.

2. If you use large eggs you may find you needs to add a spoonful more of oatmeal to keep the batter from being too runny.

3. Spray pan with cooking spray or lightly oil the pan.

4. Spoon batter into pan and cook over medium heat just like regular pancakes.

5. Topping suggestions include, warm crushed pineapple (my favorite), applesauce, fresh berries and yogurt.
