Gluten-Free Thanksgiving Breakfast
GLUTEN-FREE CINNAMON SWIRL PANCAKES WITH MAPLE ICING

Make-Ahead Tip: Baked and unbaked muffins freeze well. For baked muffins, defrost at room temperature, microwave for about 30 seconds or wrap in foil and heat in a 350º oven for about 12 minutes. For unbaked muffins, return the muffin cups filled with frozen muffin batter (make the crumble topping the same day that you bake the muffins) in a muffin tin and defrost at room temperature. Preheat the oven and bake according to the recipe, adding a few minutes of baking, if necessary.
