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). Apples will improve your body's sensitivity to insulin (Reference: http://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/27/1/281.full)
6 oz unsweetened applesauce
2 tsps vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla
2 tsps cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
2 cups flour, sifted
4 tsps baking powder
2 cups grated carrot
1/2 cup coconut
1 cup crushed pineapple
1 cup golden raisins
1 tsp orange zest
1 cup orange juice
1 1/4 cups sugar
3/4 cup nonfat buttermilk
4 large egg whites
1. Preheat oven to 325 °F (160 °C). Line mini cupcake tin with liners if needed. If using a non-stick pan, usually a spritz of cooking spray in each cup will suffice.
2. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, combine eggs, buttermilk, applesauce, oil, sugar and vanilla. Mix well. Add flour mixture and mix well.
4. In a medium bowl, combine shredded carrots, coconut, orange juice and zest, pineapple and raisins.
5. Using a large wooden spoon or a very heavy whisk, add carrot mixture to batter and fold in well.
6. Fill each cupcake tin nearly full, and bake at 325 °F for 15-20 minutes. Check with toothpick.
7. These are delicious without frosting, but you can whip up and top with some lowfat cream cheese frosting.
8. Note: cut out the coconut to reduce the fat even further.
