Healthy Gluten Free + Vegan Funfetti Party Pancakes

 Every day should start with sprinkles. Its like a having a party for breakfast.
These little flecks of fun can turn any frown upside down especially if i have gotten out of the wrong side of bed in the morning. They make me instantly happy and breakfast feel like a special occasion ... I really wanted stick a candle on this pancake tower and pretend its my birthday. but that's just going to far right?
After sprinkling sprinkles on my shake yesterday, I took it one step further today and dumped a whole load of confetti into some pancake batter. Not any pancake batter though, a healthy gluten friendly one.

  4. Then add sprinkles into mix and stir some more.

  7. Serve with my icing, fresh fruit and maple syrup or honey and more sprinklessss.
I'm not a morning person... but times are a changing and I cant wait to set my alarm so I can get my frying pan heated up tomorrow morning... for my un-birthday party part 2.

  3. I definitely am a morning person, but I like to have time in the morning to do what I want to do to, like exercise or cook breakfast before going to work. Just waking up to work is not as fun!

  10. There are actually various titles attached to this type of
    job. And, since you are going to look in the internet, you
    can easily pick out, from the many sites, the cheapest massage therapist that can give you the best Swedish massage of your
    life. Also, be sure to have both the training and experience, which are
    needed before you even think of applying.
