It's hard to say no to these gluten-free Butterfinger dessert pancakes, which taste like both pancakes and Butterfinger candy bars at the same time. Great for a special brunch or breakfast!

Ingredients: 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour. 1 tablespoon granulated sugar. 1 teaspoon baking powder. 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 1 cup buttermilk. 1 large egg. 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1/2 cup chopped Butterfinger candy bars. 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips. Whipped cream, for serving. Additional chopped Butterfinger for topping.

Instructions: Mix the sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt with a whisk in a large bowl. Bring the egg, melted butter, buttermilk, and vanilla extract together in a different bowl and mix them with a whisk. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ones and mix them together just until they are mixed. A few lumps are fine; don't mix it too much. The chopped Butterfinger candy bars and mini chocolate chips should be added slowly. Warm up a griddle or skillet that doesn't stick over medium heat. Grease it a little with cooking spray or butter. For each pancake, put 1/4 cup of batter on the pan. Once the top starts to bubble, flip it over and cook until the other side is golden brown. Do it again with the rest of the batter. Put more chopped Butterfinger candy bars on top of the pancakes and serve them with whipped cream.

Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups warm water. 1 tablespoon sugar. 2 teaspoons salt. 1 package 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast. 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour. 2 tablespoons vegan butter, melted. 1/3 cup baking soda. 5 cups water. 1 cup raw cashews, soaked for 4 hours or overnight. 1/2 cup nutritional yeast. 1/4 cup lemon juice. 2 cloves garlic. 1 teaspoon onion powder. 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder.

Instructions: Put warm water, sugar, and salt in a large bowl and mix them together. Put yeast on top and wait 5 minutes for it to foam up. Mix in the flour and vegan butter that has been melted.
