Health and fertility benefits of Peanut Butter and Banana Stuffed French Toast

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). One tbsp of honey has a glycemic index (GI) of 55.

Ingredients

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/4 teaspoons sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup whole milk
1 banana, peeled and thinly sliced
2 teaspoons honey
1/4 cup peanut butter
8 slices white bread
1/2 cup granola
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
maple syrup

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 °. Place the granola in a shallow bowl; set aside.
Spread each slice of bread with peanut butter. Drizzle honey evenly over peanut butter. Divide the banana slices among four slices of the bread; top with the remaining bread, peanut butter sides down. Remove the crusts and tightly pinch the edges of each sandwich together to seal.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla and cinnamon. Soak each sandwich in the egg mixture for 5 seconds. Roll the edges of each sandwich in granola.
In a large skillet, heat the butter over medium-high heat. Add the sandwiches, working in batches if necessary; cook about 2 minutes per side or until golden. Transfer the sandwiches to a baking sheet; bake for 10 minutes. Serve immediately with maple syrup.
