  • This is an awesome recipe! It's light, gluten free...

    This is an awesome recipe! It's light, gluten free and the chia seeds make it a bit crispy and crunchy. I added a tsp or two of vanilla and used part stevia / part regular sugar. A real winner and one of the best gluten free cakes I've ever tasted.
