I have been making these twice a week lately. Everyone in my house loves them and they don’t last long! These are so easy to make and are definitely healthier.

What you need

  •  1/3 cup melted coconut oil 
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/2 cups gluten-free flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum , leave out if your flour already has it in it

  •  1/2 cup of pure maple syrup 
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  •  teaspoon lemon peel (optional)
