For pancake day this year I decided to mix up my usual crêpe, I thought I was due a slightly more sophisticated pancake, if only to eat before I stuff my face with my usual guilty rice crispy and maple syrup stuffed pleasure. Chestnut flour has been somewhat of a food obsession of mine recently, it makes really good American style pancakes so I thought it must be just as good as in crêpes. I was right. Health wise they are the only nut to contain Vitamin C essential for keeping you in tip top health and they are the nut with the lowest fat content too meaning that these are a great grain free pancake recipe that won't get in the way of any weight loss goals, plus they add the most deliciously sweet and nutty flavour that is hard to resist.
And roasted blueberries, well they were one happy little idea that I had that worked a treat. You know that amazing squirt of warm blueberry juice you get from blueberry pancakes, its that but you can add it to anything you can think of. Oatmeal, ice cream, french toast, but on these bad boys, it hits the spot. —The All Natural Cure
