That sounds yummy!  Would it be bad if I put whipped cream or vanilla ice cream on it?  Lol

Looks delicious.  Dang....I was bound and determine to monitor my carbs starting today (am diabetic beside having celiac disease). There is nothing like a reality check when trying on clothes in a department store dressing room and realizing that you are growing (not so good when you are 55!). ?

This has alot less sugar then most cakes, a high amount of fiber to keep it well balanced, and the cinnamon and coconut oil also help with blood sugar. This was designed being health conscious, my parents are both diabetic so this is one of those where I tried to balance it out. NOTE you might have luck using Walden farms no calorie pancake syrup. Not tried it but worth a shot.
