SYRNIKI - RUSSIAN PANCAKES (GLUTEN-FREE, LOW-GI)
Unlike regular pancakes, these pancakes are very light and fluffy. They are very low in carbohydrates and high in protein, making them a much better choice for breakfast compared to regular pancakes. These pancakes usually contain raisins, but I omitted them in order to avoid a blood sugar spike. For more healthy gluten-free recipes, please visit my blog, www.innerharmonynutrition.com.
