Health and fertility benefits of Strawberry Shortcake French Toast

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

1/2 cup nonfat milk
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 large eggs
4 slices multi-grain or gluten-free bread
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup strawberries, thinly sliced
1/2 cup heavy cream, whipped
Confectioners' sugar, for garnish

Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk the milk, cinnamon and eggs. Dip each slice of bread in the mixture to coat, and then transfer to a wire rack. Melt the butter in a large skillet set over medium heat. Cook the bread until golden brown, 3 minutes per side. Pile one-quarter of the strawberries on a slice of toast, then top with one-quarter of the whipped cream. Place another slice of toast on top and repeat the layering, ending with a piece of toast. Sprinkle the stacks with confectioners' sugar to serve.
