Health and fertility benefits of Sweet Cinnamon Passover Rolls

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 1/4 cups water
1/3 cup canola oil
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups matzo meal
4 large eggs
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

Preheat oven to 375 °.
Cover a large, heavy baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
