Health and fertility benefits of Devouring Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

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 cup butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 pinch salt
3 cups old-fashioned oats
1 (12 ounce) bag semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Beat butter, brown sugar, and white sugar together until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla extract; stir to combine. Sift flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and baking powder together in a separate bowl; stir into butter-sugar mixture until thick and free of clumps. Gradually stir oats, 1 cup at a time, into batter until evenly mixed. Fold in chocolate chips.
Scoop 1 to 2 tablespoons batter and drop onto prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining batter, keeping about 2 inches between each scoop.
Bake in the preheated oven until edges of cookies are lightly browned, 9 to 10 minutes. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet before removing, 30 minutes.
