Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- Gluten-Free: The protein gluten is found in items like wheat products, beer, and pasta. It may cause digestive symptoms in some people, including those with celiac disease. This recipe uses gluten-free alternatives to wheat flour to avoid bloating, cramps, and digestive discomfort often associated with eating gluten.
- Packed with Cinnamon: In addition to being an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, lipid-lowering, and cardiovascular-disease-lowering compound, cinnamon has also been reported to have activities against neurological disorders, such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases (1).
- 10 Grams of MCTs: This recipe contains 10 grams of MCTs. MCTs have been shown to increase energy, curb appetite, clear brain fog, maintain blood sugar levels, support metabolism, and more (2, 3, 4).
