Still craving something sweet but feeling that post-Thanksgiving bloat? We’re with ya!

This GF recipe is for all of you who are as obsessed with healthy eating as me. Due to dietary restrictions, I’ve had to do a 360 degree flip on my diet and find new ways to make healthy food taste good. It took some time to perfect, but below is my take on the gluten free breakfast pancake. And honestly, ask any of my friends who’ve tried them, these cakes taste even better than anything you’d order at your local diner!
