Health benefits of Cinnamon Roll Pudding Pops

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). Chia seeds are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and antioxidants. The high fiber content helps regulate blood sugar levels and supports digestive health. Omega-3 fatty acids reduce inflammation and improve heart health, which is beneficial for managing PCOS symptoms. Including chia seeds in your diet can help provide essential nutrients and support overall health and well-being.

Ingredients

Cinnamon Roll “Oatmeal”
1 cup Crushed Pecans
1/3 cup Flax Seed Meal
1/3 cup Chia Seeds
1/2 cup Cauliflower, riced (~ 3 oz.)
3 1/2 cups Coconut Milk
1/4 cup Heavy Cream
3 oz. Cream Cheese
3 tbsp. Butter
1 1/2 tsp. Cinnamon
1 tsp. Maple Flavor
1/2 tsp. Vanilla
1/4 tsp. Nutmeg
1/4 tsp. Allspice
3 tbsp. Erythritol, powdered
10-15 drops Liquid Stevia
1/8 tsp. Xanthan Gum (optional)

Instructions

1. Take whatever amount you want of the Cinnamon Roll “Oatmeal” recipe you have made and stick it in the blender. Blend it up as much as you want (or not at all). I feel it helps with the texture and freezing of the final popsicles.
2. Spoon the mixture into your popsicle mold. It takes about 1/4 cup to fill each up.
3. Using your spoon, slide it into and out of the popsicle mold to get out any air bubbles that may be inside. Make sure that you don’t overfill the molds because the top will stick to them otherwise.
4. Put the lid on top of the popsicle molds and slide the popsicle sticks into the slots at the top. You don’t want them to go all the way to the bottom.
5. Put the popsicle mold into the freezer and allow to freeze completely. This can take 3-4 hours (and can stay in your freezer as long as you want).
6. Run a hot water bath in your sink and submerge the popsicle molds into the hot water for 20-30 seconds.
7. Take the lid off of the popsicle mold, pulling and wiggling the popsicles as you pull. They should come out quite easily. Enjoy!
