Health benefits of Oatmeal Protein Waffles

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 cup lowfat cottage cheese
8 oz egg beaters
1 tbsp cinnamon
4 servings 1 packet splenda
1 cup oatmeal

Instructions

1. Pre-heat waffle iron. You can cook this as pancakes on the stove but it cooks better as a waffle because of the heat on the bottom and top of the iron cooking at the same time.

2. In a blender put in egg beaters, cottage cheese, cinnamon, and Splenda.

3. Blend on high till smooth. You may need to mix it around with a spoon to get it all smooth. Lastly put the oatmeal in the blender. Blend till smooth. Again you made need to mix the oatmeal around with a spoon and blend again to get it all smooth.

4. Spray iron with Pam cooking spray. Spoon about 1/2 cup or so mix on iron and cook.

5. My iron takes about 5 minutes to get it to cook till golden brown.

6. Our favorite toppings to go on them is sugar free syrup, sugar free jelly, fruit, and/or natural peanut butter.
