  1. Just made this with Bob’d Red Mill Gluten Free Pancake Mix and Buttermilk. Did find I had to make an extra batch of the pancake mix to top them all. I also was able to fit it all in a 12 cup jumbo muffin/cupcake pan. I’ll let you know how it comes out! Xo.

  2. Do you HAVE to thaw before microwaving or reheating in the oven? I’m looking for recipes that I can grab and throw in the microwave for a minute when I only have a minute for lunch.

    1. Robin, I may have answered you question in a different place as well, but yes, these can be microwaved from frozen (try 50% power or using your microwave preset for frozen entrees for best results). Also, if you are packing these in a lunch box in the morning or the night befoe, they should thaw by the time lunch rolls around.
