Gluten-Free Hotcakes with Maple Orange Syrup Recipe

Making the choice or out of necessity…going gluten-free doesn’t have to be boring! Over the years, I have tried many gluten-free recipes and have been very disappointed with the texture and/or flavor of the finished result. Most of the time, I never try that recipe or food again.

Over the past several months I have seen a big explosion of new gluten-free recipes hit the internet which look a lot tastier than the previous ones. Matter of fact, we have started trying out these new recipes and many are finally pasting our taste test and making it into our daily diets. Yay!

The great folks over at Nielsen-Massey Vanillas sent over a delicious looking hotcakes with maple orange syrup recipe that I just had to share with all of you. They look delicious and hubby and I are going to try them out this coming weekend.
