It says that it’s 1 calorie of the bagel sandwich and is it actually that 1 calorie because I think it’s way more than that? Plus I made your Pancakes and it was so delicious I will be eating it everyday for now on.
I’m so sorry about that – there must have been a tech glitch! I’ve updated the nutritional info in the recipe card for you. I’m so happy you liked my pancakes too! You rock!
