3 Health Benefits of These Cinnamon Roll Blondies

#1: Supports Heart Health

Keeping your heart healthy and happy is a cornerstone of longevity. If you want a rich, full life, you can’t overlook this essential organ.

Two crucial factors in heart health include; combating oxidative damage in your body, and eating enough heart-health promoting fats. And the best way to do this, of course, is through diet.

Almonds are a wonderful source of antioxidants, and particularly the fat-soluble antioxidant vitamin E. In addition, they’re rich in monounsaturated fat — which has heart-health promoting qualities.

Research even shows that when compared to whole wheat muffins, snacking on almonds has a  significant effect on blood lipids associated with heart disease[*].

These delicious cinnamon roll blondies not only include almond flour, but almond butter as well. That’s a double whammy of heart-health support.

#2: Balances Blood Sugar

Cinnamon is a fantastic spice to bake with. In fact, of the hundreds of spices out there, cinnamon is one of the select few that impart a sweet flavor.

But what makes this sweet spice so unique isn’t just it’s sweet flavor, but it’s ability to enhance sweetness while also balancing blood sugar.

Research done on people with diabetes shows that as little as one gram of cinnamon per day can have profound effects on your metabolic health. In one study, diabetics saw reductions in blood glucose, LDL cholesterol, as well as triglycerides.

These markers not only affect the risk of diabetes, but they’re also associated with heart disease[*].

The best part — cinnamon works in almost all sweet recipes, so stock up and use this delicious spice freely.

#3: Boosts Brain Health

Eggs are fantastic brain food. They’re rich in protein and also one of the most abundant sources of the nutrient choline.

Choline plays a wide range of roles in your body, including supporting the health of your cell membranes and the production of neurotransmitters.

One neurotransmitter in particular, acetylcholine, has a significant impact on your mood, memory, and other brain and nervous system functions.

Deficiency in choline can have serious impacts on early brain development, making it an especially crucial nutrient for pregnant women[*].

Some people like to add a cream cheese frosting to their blondies.
