Watch out! I can catch the gingerbread man! I not only caught him, but I threw him into a breakfast cake. But lets get real for a second. I love gingerbread cookies but you can’t eat them all the time. Well, correction, you probably shouldn’t eat them all the time. Due to that, I figured I should find a loophole around that and….Viola, Gingerbread Breakfast cakes!
This week I’m doing 5 days straight of Chestnut Flour Recipes in collaboration with Tammy over at The Healthy Gluten Free Life! Tammy and I both LOVE baking with this flour, especially this time of year as it has an amazing fall/wintery flavor to it. (It tastes like heaven with apples, cinnamon, pumpkin spice etc!)
We want to entice you to do the same. SO, Each day this week Tammy and I will be posting a new chestnut flour recipe-
Head over to her blog to see her Grain Free Maple Pumpkin Blondies!!
PS. Tammy and I are giving away big bags of chestnut flour. My giveaway is happening here on friday..but you can head over to her site today to enter to win

I’m very interested in chestnut flour, but I’m not sure where to get it…can I make it?? I have roasted/peeled organic chestnuts from Costco? We love just eating them plain usually.
I highly recommend ordering some from Nuts.com! Their flour is certified gluten free
These look Great!! I am just wondering, do you think that flax eggs would work in place of the eggs? we are plant based….
Would it be possible to sub out the Chestnut flour for say Coconut flour? Or any other kind of healthy flour?
Sadly I don’t recommend it. All the grain free flours behave quite different in recipes. They don’t exchange well.
Do you think almond flour would work or does Chestnut flour react differently in recipes?
These sound and look amazing.
I have almond flour and chestnut paste. I’m going for it!
I can’t get your dairy free white chocolate frosting link to load. Says the page can’t be displayed. I’ll just have to search.
Just fixed it! Sorry about that!!
Oh, I think there’s just an extra “http” in your link address.
Is there anything that can be substituted for chestnut flour
These look amazing!! I have to get my hands on some chestnut flour so I can make them!! I can’t wait!!
