Coffee or tea? Heels or flats? Hair up or down? Pack lunch or eat out? You make a lot of decisions in the morning, but luckily you don’t have to mull over what to eat for breakfast. Instead of choosing between healthy blueberry pancakes or a sweet-tooth-approved donut, this recipe gives you the best of both worlds. These pancake donuts are made with gluten-free flour and vegan “eggs” but they’re irresistibly sweet. Because they’re baked, they also come together more easily than pancakes—no griddle required!
