Chocolate Chip Pancakes

Um... heck, yes! It was "Brinner" time a few nights ago because I was just simply too exhausted to make a real meal and we decided to take this recipe for a spin. Oh boy! We felt like we were eating cookies for dinner! It's not every day, especially in our household, that you get Chocolate Chip Pancakes, and certainly not for dinner!

Eat these sparingly if you are trying to fit them into your macro ratios, but I certainly recommend that you try this gluten-free goodness. Your kids will LOVE them and those cravings - they will be gone in an instant. Unless, of course, you start craving these pancakes.
