REVIEWS:

I make this at least once a week with a yellow gluten free mix. Very easy and tasty and I dont feel deprived. this has turned out to be a family fav.

I've made this recipe a lot of times and I add 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips mixed with 1/8 cup all-purpose flour to the batter! This recipe has proved to be among my favorites to prepare!
