This one is delicious for all the reasons you can imagine. It's sweet. It's seasonal. It's festive. And it's gluten free.Feel free to use your gluten free flour of choice. You'll get the same results no matter your choice.Try different variations to really up the ante. Think a sprinkle of chocolate chips throughout the batter, or some pumpkin seeds on top. What a perfect way to kick off the season!
