Breakfast Tostadas

Posted on by

 First of all you need a fabulous flourless tortilla recipe. We got our recipe from Paleo Newbie. (Link Here)

We added a tablespoon of corn meal to the recipe and poured our tortillas a little thinner. We wanted ours to be able to have a crispy crunchy texture.

Once you have your tortillas made you sprinkle them with cinnamon while they are still hot.

Then when they have cooled spread them with your favorite natural peanut butter.

Then top with your favorite fresh fruit!

For an extra bit of goodness try drizzling a bit of fresh honey on top! Other great topping ideas: Chia Seeds, Sunflower Seeds, Banana Slices, or Peach Slices.

Health Benefits of Cinnamon

Some research has found that a particular type of cinnamon, cassia cinnamon, may lower blood sugar in people with diabetes. Studies of cinnamon for lowering cholesterol and treating yeast infections in people. Lab studies have found that cinnamon may reduce inflammation, have antioxidant effects, and fight bacteria.
