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

4.2 ounces garbanzo bean flour (about 1 cup)
1.3 ounces potato starch (about 1/4 cup)
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon xanthan gum

1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter, softened

1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large egg yolks
3 tablespoons turbinado sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Weigh or lightly spoon flour and potato starch into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour, potato starch, and next 4 ingredients (through salt) in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk.
Place butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until blended. Add corn syrup, vanilla, and egg yolks, beating at low speed. Add flour mixture; beat at low speed until blended.
