Day 4 – You Crave What You Eat
OH, how I LOVE pancakes!! Ever since I went gluten-free about 2 years ago, I love to take indulgent recipes and make them healthier! One of my favorites is pancakes.
With some chopped nuts, fruit, and 100% pure maple syrup on top, pancakes only need about 4-5 ingredients (none of which include thickening agents or hydrogenated oils) to make the perfect breakfast. You can find more PANCAKE recipes here.
