Gluten Free Pancakes

Gluten Free Pancakes

I love pancakes, and making them from scratch is a major money saver.  Sure there are pre-made gf mixes on the market now, but at $3-5 a box, is it really worth the convenience? Not to mention most of them are loaded with unwanted sugar.

So if you haven’t already noticed I’m addicted to chocolate.  I’m not going to try and hide it, but let’s just say I am very glad that it is something I can still eat.  On a side note, I might eat it too much.  With this is mind I decided to make a “healthier” cookie.  But one that still satisfies my ridiculous sweet tooth.  This cookie has just the right amount of chewy goodness, with a tad crunch from the walnuts.

My favorite thing to do is prepare the batter, scoop onto a tray and freeze the dough.  Drop the frozen cookie balls in a ziplock bag and keep in the freezer for the next time you want freshly baked cookies!  Simply place them on your cookie sheet to thaw while your oven is preheating and bake as directed below.   Perfect for a midnight snack :)

These biscuits are packed with flavor!  You can make them mini size for snacking, or make them larger and flatten to serve as a bun for a sandwich.  Either way they taste great and are a cinch to put together.  I make a large batch and
