Whew it’s already Monday again! Sunday I made these amazing Gluten Free Protein Pancakes with Blueberry and Raspberry Toppings. I have never had such fluffy pancakes, while attempting a gluten recipe from scratch. I just added a little bit of this and a little bit of that, writing everything down in the hopes that it turned out delicious so I could share it with you all. Thankfully it turned out better than expected and I am sharing it with you all today as my Meatless Monday Recipe.
