Health and fertility benefits of Cinnamon Roll “Oatmeal”

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). Flaxseed can be used to combat PCOS as it helps decrease androgen levels. It contains lignans that increase the production of sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) that binds testosterone in the blood, thereby preventing it from wreaking havoc in the body. Being high in fiber, flaxseed helps slow down glucose metabolism and lower cholesterol levels. The omega-3 fatty acids in this flaxseed also reduce inflammation, lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease. Chia seeds are made up of 60% Omega-3 fatty acids and are the highest source of protein out of any type of seed.

Ingredients

1 cup Crushed Pecans
1/3 cup Flax Seed Meal
1/3 cup Chia Seeds
1/2 cup Cauliflower, riced (~ 3 oz.)
3 1/2 cups Coconut Milk
1/4 cup Heavy Cream
3 oz. Cream Cheese
3 tbsp. Butter
1 1/2 tsp. Cinnamon
1 tsp. Maple Flavor
1/2 tsp. Vanilla
1/4 tsp. Nutmeg
1/4 tsp. Allspice
3 tbsp. Erythritol, powdered
10-15 drops Liquid Stevia
1/8 tsp. Xanthan Gum (optional)

Instructions

1. Measure out chia seeds and 1/3 cup flax seeds (ground) and set aside.
2. Rice 1/2 cup of cauliflower in a food processor. Set aside for a moment.
3. Add 1 cup raw pecans to a ziploc bag and use a rolling pin to crush them. Make sure they’re not too small, because you want them to add texture to the dish.
4. Add pecans to a pan over low heat to toast.
5. In a saucepan, heat 3 1/2 cups coconut milk. Once warm, add cauliflower and continue to cook until it starts to boil.
6. Turn the heat down to medium-low and add your seasonings: 1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon, 1 tsp. maple flavor, 1/2 tsp. vanilla, 1/4 tsp. Nutmeg, and 1/4 tsp. Allspice
7. In a spice grinder, grind 3 tbsp. erythritol until it is completely powdered.
8. Add erythritol and 10-15 drops liquid stevia to the pan and stir in well.
9. Add the flaxseed meal and chia seed to the pan and mix well. This will start to thicken tremendously.
10. Measure out 1/4 cup heavy cream, 3 tbsp. butter, and 3 oz. Cream Cheese.
11. Once your mixture is hot again, add the toasted pecans, cream, butter, and cream cheese. Mix together well. Here, you can add 1/8 tsp. xanthan gum if you would like it to be a bit thicker.
12. Enjoy!
