Sometimes it feels good to switch things up and have breakfast for our evening meal—breaking the rules can be fun! But this recipe takes a traditional morning dish and turns it into a dinner entree that you can easily justify. Packed with protein, this gluten-free and vegan recipe is extremely versatile. Be creative and blend the batter with your favorite spices, or layer your cakes with yummy toppings your family will love!
