This recipe includes superfoods such as:
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). Apple cider vinegar will improve your body's sensitivity to insulin (Reference: http://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/27/1/281.full)
3/4 cups Unsweetened Coconut Milk (I Use The Kind From A Carton)
1 teaspoon Apple Cider Vinegar
1 cup All-purpose Gluten Free Flour (I Use Bob's Red Mill)
2 Tablespoons Sugar
2 teaspoons Baking Powder
1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
2 Tablespoons Melted Coconut Oil
1/2 cup Mashed Bananas
1/2 cup Toasted Walnut Pieces
Combine coconut milk and vinegar in a small bowl and set aside for 5 minutes.
Whisk together the dry ingredients in a medium bowl. Add coconut oil, banana puree, walnuts, and the coconut milk mixture. Whisk until smooth.
Heat a griddle or nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Grease griddle with coconut or vegetable oil over medium heat.
Pour the cakes and cook for about 2 minutes or until you see little bubbles forming on the edges of the cakes. Flip and cook another minute or two. These are thick cakes, so reduce the heat if you need to so that they cook through without getting too brown. Serve immediately or keep hot in a warm oven until ready to serve.
For the caramelized bananas, in a medium nonstick pan over medium high heat, add coconut oil and sugar to the dry pan. Let sugar melt, and when it starts to turn golden brown, add syrup, which will bubble. Add bananas, walnuts, and salt and stir gently to coat and until they have a nice golden crust.
Top griddle cakes with hot caramelized bananas, walnuts and caramel sauce.
