Blew my pancake and cinnamon roll loving mind with this creation 🤯 It’s my morning off parenting but I had to briefly enter the kitchen to try this. Inspired by @plantbasedrd who’s a legit genius. 🙏

They’re easy to make and use basic ingredients. Save it, because you know you’ll be brunching all week.⁣ 🤷🏻‍♀️
