Health and fertility benefits of Blueberry Coffee Cake Muffins with Streusel

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 all-purpose flour
1/3 packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 Tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed

Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and cubed butter. Using your fingers or two forks, work the butter into the mixture until it is the texture of wet sand. Set the streusel aside.
