Health and fertility benefits of Cinnamon Bun Popcorn
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 bag light butter popcorn
2 tbsp. butter, melted
3 tbsp. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
Instructions
Pop the popcorn according to the package’s instructions.
Make the popcorn: Place the popcorn in a gallon-sized resealable bag and add butter, brown sugar and cinnamon. Seal and shake to coat the popcorn. Pour out on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Make the glaze: Mix powdered sugar and water. Add water by the 1/2 tsp until you reach your desired consistency (it should be about as runny as the glaze on a cinnamon roll).
Drizzle glaze on popcorn and refrigerate for 20-25 minutes.
