Gluten-Free Citrus Vegan Pancakes

By: Lisa Guy

These delicious gluten-free vegan pancakes topped with citrus syrup and fruits are bursting with flavour and vitamin C. Citrus fruits are rich in vitamin C, which is vital for healthy skin, a functioning immune system and adrenal health. Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory nutrient that neutralises cell-damaging free radicals and dampens inflammation throughout the body.
