CHESTNUT FLOUR CREPES (GLUTEN- AND WHEAT-FREE)



Chestnut Flour Crepes (Gluten- and Wheat-Free) image

Chestnut flour makes very unique crepes that happen to be both gluten- and wheat-free. The smoky, nutty flavor of the chestnut flour complements both savory and sweet fillings. Try them stuffed with warm gorgonzola and walnuts topped with vanilla ice cream and roasted hazelnuts. Delicious! Serve or use immediately, or allow to cool and refrigerate until needed. Cooked crepes will stay fresh in the fridge for 2 days. The batter can be refrigerated up to 24 hours.

If you haven't tried chestnut flour as a substitute for wheat flour, this is the perfect recipe for you. Chestnut flour is rich in carbohydrates, low in fat, and its tender texture and sweet nutty flavor is perfect for crepes and pancakes alike. This is Wild Oats recipe, soon to be part of Whole Foods I believe.
