Health and fertility benefits of Homemade Dump Cake With Peaches, Blueberries, and Pecans

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

3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, cubed, plus more for pan
All-purpose flour (for pan)

1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Homemade Yellow Cake Mix or 1 (16-ounce) box store-bought yellow cake mix
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup pecans, chopped
