This lovely recipe was found by my dear friend and ex-sous chef from my days at Azna Gluten Free! He was a cranky man, and hated that I made him do gluten-free and vegan food and baked goods all day every day. But he loved me and gracefully accepted the challenge. Fast forward 13 years and he’s all grown up and a head chef and making GF things on his own!
