Citrus flavored anything has always been my favorite. While I would love to snack on Sour Patch Kids all day...type 1 diabetes and pregnancy does not allow that. I love finding delicious ways to still incorporate one of my favorite flavors but without all that unnecessary added sugar.What you will need:
- A large orange
- 1 tbs of coconut sugar or raw brown sugar
- 1 tsp of cinnamon
- Slice orange in half. Remove seeds.
- Using a sharp knife detach the orange from the peel. Slice the orange into sections following the natural pattern of the orange. This will make it easy for bite size pieces
- Turn your broiler on high.
- Sprinkle mixture of sugar and cinnamon onto orange.
- Place orange halves into an oven safe dish and broil for about 6 minutes or until the sugar is brown and bubbling.
- Enjoy right away! This little treat is best when it's straight out of the oven.
I have been making this almost weekly and when that little voice says, "I NEED sugar now!"..this does the trick! It's delicious, makes my house smell like a candy shop and is SO easy to make.On a side note: I caved and created a Facebook page for Delighted Momma. I still refuse to get a personal account but I think it's great for fun updates on the blog. You can find it here.

Hey Lindsay- Your pictures are always great! What kind of camera do you use?
Mmm I'll have to try this! We have a big orange tree in our backyard (it was a nice surprise when we bought the house since we live in the city), so we a bunch of oranges. This will be a different way to use them!
I am with you on the Facebook thing! I HAD to create a personal page so that I could create a page for my blog but I never use the personal one.
Love it. And I JUST bought oranges at the store this morning! This will be my afternoon snack because the baby I'm growing sure loves her sugar, too. :)
that looks so tasty!!
