We're continuing to stay away from wheat with C because we're pretty sure that was causing his itchy skin and bad diaper rashes. But he's really craving some treats and doesn't understand why he can't have them anymore :( I tried to look into some gluten free recipes, but it seems like each recipe needs 5 different flours and it's very overwhelming especially when you have other food restrictions as well! So, I just chose to start with buckwheat flour which, despite it's name, isn't even considered a grain. I originally was going to make these into pancakes, but I am reallllly bad at flipping pancakes, so I just put the batter into a muffin tin. They turned out great and were a lot easier! They're a great breakfast treat drizzled with maple syrup and served with some bacon or sausage or a good mid-morning treat. They are a little gummy due to using applesauce instead of egg, but a gummy treat for C is better than no treat at all :) Enjoy!
