Health and fertility benefits of Overnight Oats with Stone Fruit Recipe | Myrecipes

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). Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to.

Ingredients

2 cups old-fashioned oats
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup whole milk
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons pecans, chopped

2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
