A fall favorite at my home, this gluten-free, grain-free version of pancakes is delectable. They are also kid-approved! Because they are high in protein, they are quite satisfying and will keep you full all morning. You can top them with fresh fruit, coconut cream or a touch of maple syrup for a perfect start to your day.
