The completed Pancake Muffins

Pancake MuffinsI am trying to eat healthier and to help accomplish that goal, I have been meal prepping. I still have quite a sweet tooth though. It' is hard to keep most sweet foods in the house because I' will binge on them. I found this pancake muffin recipe on Pinterest and it is the perfect sweet treat when I' am having cravings. I store the muffins in meal prep containers and freeze. When I want 1-2, I defrost & reheat in the microwave. Chocolate chip & blueberry are delicious. I look forward to trying other toppings too.

Since I can no longer have wheat flour, I had to adjust the recipe to make it gluten free by using gluten free flour. It is good and my family loves it too. It also freezes well for later. I freeze it in serving sizes.
