Health and fertility benefits of Applesauce Waffles

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)

Ingredients

3 tsps sugar
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
3 large eggs, separated
1 1/4 cups white flour
1 1/2 cups 1% milk
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsps baking powder

Instructions

1. In medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon and salt.

2. Separate eggs. In smaller bowl, combine egg yolks and milk. Mix well. Stir into dry ingredients. Add applesauce and stir well.

3. Beat egg whites until stiff. Carefully fold into batter (don't over mix).

4. Pour about 2/3 cup batter onto preheated waffle iron.

5. Close, and bake about 3 minutes. (Spray waffle iron with no-cook spray). These waffles are fairly soft, so if you like crispy waffles, cook about 1 minute more.

6. Serve with favorite waffle topping.
