Health and fertility benefits of Roasted Pears with Cardamom Granola and Vanilla Ice Cream

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).

1 cup granola
1/2 cup brown sugar

4 pears, halved and cored

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Put the granola, brown sugar, flour, cardamom, cinnamon, and butter in a bowl, mix the ingredients with finger tips until the butter is well incorporated.
