Health and fertility benefits of Strawberry Rhubarb Crepes 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

2 eggs
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
Dash ground nutmeg
Dash ground cinnamon

Instructions

In a small bowl, beat the eggs, milk and butter. Combine the flour, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon; add to egg mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add the orange juice, orange peel and lemon juice; stir in rhubarb and strawberries. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes or until rhubarb is tender, stirring occasionally. Set aside.
Heat a lightly greased 8-in. nonstick skillet; pour 2 tablespoons batter into the center of skillet. Lift and tilt pan to evenly coat bottom. Cook until top appears dry; turn and cook 15-20 seconds longer. Remove to a wire rack. Repeat with remaining batter, greasing skillet as needed. Stack cooled crepes with waxed paper or paper towels in between.
To serve, spoon 1/4 cup filling over each crepe; roll up. Top with whipped cream.
