DIABETICS NOTE: It is best to use brown rice syrup and/or stevia as sweetener. Stevia is sweeter, so less is needed. Start with a small amount and increase to desired flavor. Yukon syrup may also be used at same ratio as agave. It would be best to not use any sweetener but increase the amount of cinnamon to your palate tolerance. Cinnamon has been shown to lower fasting glucose, cholesterol and triglyceride levels in Type 2 diabetics.
