Health benefits of Easy Monkey Bread Muffins

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

1/2 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
3 (10 ounce) cans refrigerated biscuit dough, separated and cut into quarters
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup margarine

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease muffin cups or line with paper liners.
Mix white sugar and cinnamon together in a gallon-size resealable bag; add biscuits and toss to coat. Press coated biscuits into muffin cups, about 2/3 full.
Heat brown sugar and margarine together in a saucepan over medium-low heat until melted, 3 to 5 minutes; pour over each biscuit muffin.
Bake in the preheated oven until dough is cooked through, about 20 minutes.
