Here's a weekend breakfast treat. Invite your gluten-free and wheat-eating friends over. I've seen lots of people gobble these down!

- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼-1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)
- 1/8 tsp nutmeg (optional)
Instructions

- Heat up a griddle. Add a tsp of coconut oil.
- Ladle 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle. Cook on first side until bubbles form on the top. Flip and cook until lightly browned. Repeat with the rest of the batter.
