By Rebecca Thexton
Sunday brunch at home can be as tasty and cheaper then going out and with no rush to finish. 
I bought an abundance of avocadoes because they were cheap (got to get in while you can) so I decided to make gluten free avocado pancake stack with rocket, parmesan, capers and topped with a fried egg and sour cream. This was a great decision.
The pancakes had a green tinge to them with an avocado flavour which went perfectly with the spicy rocket, sour cream and sharp parmesan. I added some capers and lemon thyme to garnish as I love to garnish with lots of condiments.
Packed with protein, good fats and greens this brunch is a great way to start your day (unless you’re a breakfast for dinner kind of person, in which case we need to be friends immediately).
