Health and fertility benefits of Berry Crumble

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

3 c. oats
1/2 c. all-purpose flour
2 tbsp. all-purpose flour

1 c. dark-brown sugar
1 c. granulated sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon
Zest of 2 oranges
2 stick unsalted butter
5 c. frozen raspberries and/or blackberries
2 c. frozen blueberries
