Health benefits of Low Carb Cinnamon Roll Waffle
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
WAFFLE
6 Tbsp. Almond Flour
2 Large Eggs
1 Tbsp. Erythritol
1/4 tsp. Baking Soda
1/2 tsp. Cinnamon
1/2 tsp. Vanilla Extract
Non-stick Spray (If you have an old waffle maker)
CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
2 Tbsp. Cream Cheese
1 Tbsp. Erythritol
1 Tbsp. Heavy Cream
2 tsp. Leftover batter
1/4 tsp. Vanilla Extract
1/4 tsp. Cinnamon
Instructions
1. Crack an egg into a mixing bowl.
2. Add your Erythritol and mix it together very well.
3. Add your almond flour and cinnamon to the mixture.
4. Mix this together well until there’s no lumps.
5. Add your second egg and baking soda.
6. Again mix it well until the batter is smooth.
7. Put your waffle iron on and wait for it to get hot. You need to spray it down with some sort of non-stick spray if it isn’t non-stick.
8. Fill your waffle maker with the batter and let it cook. Save a little bit of the batter (about 2 tsp.) to go into the filling. While you’re cooking find a small bowl and add your cream cheese and Erythritol.
9. Next add your heavy cream, cinnamon, and a little bit of batter to it. Mix it together very well so that everything is combined. I like to leave small lumps of cream cheese in to change the texture as I’m eating the cinnamon roll waffle.
10. Once your waffle is finished cooking, cut it into quarters. Add your filling to 2 of the quarters so that you can make a sandwich.
11. Sandwich them together and enjoy! The waffles are a tad dry, so you need some sort of filling to thoroughly enjoy them.
