Chef notes
The thing about Trader Joe’s pancake bread is that it requires a ton of ingredients. I wanted to make my own version a little healthier, more wholesome and accessible for people with dietary restrictions. No offense to Trader Joe's, but it's really satisfying to make an unprocessed alternative to their recipe! I'm slightly obsessed with this bread. It’s perfect at any time of day — breakfast with a drizzle of maple syrup, in the afternoon with a cup of coffee or even for dessert. This recipe is gluten free, dairy free and contains no refined sugar. And you’d never know it.
