Health and fertility benefits of Quick Bananas Foster Recipe

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

1/3 cup butter, cubed
3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 medium bananas
2 tablespoons creme de cacao or banana liqueur
1/4 cup dark rum
2 cups vanilla ice cream

Instructions

In a large skillet or flambé pan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Stir in brown sugar and cinnamon until combined. Cut each banana lengthwise and then widthwise into quarters; add to butter mixture. Cook, stirring gently, for 3-5 minutes or until glazed and slightly softened. Stir in creme de cacao; heat through.
In a small saucepan, heat rum over low heat until vapors form on surface. Carefully ignite rum and slowly pour over bananas, coating evenly.
Leaving skillet or pan on the cooking surface, gently shake pan back and forth until flames are completely extinguished.
Spoon ice cream into fluted glasses; top with bananas and sauce. Serve immediately.
