Health and fertility benefits of Paula's Fried Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwich

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). One tbsp of honey has a glycemic index (GI) of 55.

Ingredients

2 to 3 ripe bananas
8 slices white bread
3/4 cup crunchy peanut butter
3 tablespoons honey
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon, plus 1 tablespoon for topping
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup sugar

Instructions

In frying pan melt 3 tablespoons of butter - make sure butter does not burn. In a small bowl mix together peanut butter, honey and cinnamon. Slice bananas into 1/4" thick slices.
