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

18 (1/2-ounce) slices diagonally cut French bread (about 1 inch thick)
2 1/2 cups 2% reduced-fat milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 large eggs
1 large egg white
Cooking spray
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 cups sliced strawberries
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 °.
Place bread slices in a single layer in 2 (13 x 9-inch) glass or ceramic baking dishes.
