Health benefits of Dutch Oven Peach Cobbler

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

ground cinnamon
1/3 cup for cobbler sugar, 1/4 cup sugar for topping
2 3/4 cups baking mix, divided
2 (16 oz) cans sliced peaches in heavy or light syrup, or in fruit juice
1 pint fresh blueberries
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, melted
1/2 cup milk
cinnamon sugar, (1/4 cup sugar combined with 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon; store in an empty spice shaker jar; shake well before each use)

Drain 1 can of the peaches. Combine both cans of peaches, including the juice from the undrained can, the blueberries (if using), 1/2 cup baking mix, 1/3 cup sugar and a sprinkling of cinnamon. Place this mixture into the Dutch oven.
To make the topping: Combine 2 1/4 cups baking mix, 1/4 cup sugar, butter and milk in a resealable plastic bag. Drop bits of dough, using your fingers, on top of the peaches. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
