Health and fertility benefits of Keto Snickerdoodle 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). One tbsp of honey has a glycemic index (GI) of 55. Nuts are a natural source of Inositol, a derivative of Vitamin B (which is often prescribed in the form of supplements for women with PCOS). Inositol can effectively control the symptoms of PCOS by reducing insulin resistance and improving insulin sensitivity.

Ingredients

THE COOKIES
2 Cups Honeyville Almond Flour
1/4 Cup Coconut Oil
1/4 Cup Homemade Maple Syrup
1 Tbsp. Vanilla
1/4 tsp. Baking Soda
7 Drops Liquid Stevia
Pinch Salt
Optional: 1/3 Cup Macadamia Nuts


THE TOPPING
2 Tbsp. Cinnamon
2 Tbsp. NOW Foods Erythritol

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350F. In a bowl, combine 1/4 Cup Melted Coconut Oil, 1/4 Cup Homemade Maple Syrup, 1 Tbsp. Vanilla, and 7 Drops Liquid Stevia.
2. In a separate bowl, combine 2 Cups Honeyville Almond Flour, 1/4 tsp. Baking Soda, and a pinch of salt.
3. OPTIONAL: If you are using Macadamia Nuts, add 1/3 Cup of Macadamia Nuts to your food processor.
4. OPTIONAL: If you are using Macadamia Nuts, coarsely grind the macadamia nuts.
5. Mix together the wet ingredients until combined well.
6. Mix your wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until a dough is formed.
7. OPTIONAL: If you are using Macadamia Nuts, add macadamia nuts here.
8. In a small metal ramekin, combine 2 Tbsp. Cinnamon and 2 Tbsp. NOW Foods Erythritol.
9. Roll dough into balls, dip into the cinnamon mixture, and then lay them onto a silicone silpat. Use the bottom side of a mason jar (greased if needed) to flatten the balls – giving the classic “cracked” appearance of the snickerdoodles.
10. Do this for all your cookies. Make sure they are relatively spread out, but they will not spread too much.
11. Bake for 9-10 minutes. They will look undercooked at first, but will firm up once out of the oven.
12. Cool and serve!
