Chocolate pancakes in the morning banish sorrow and worries. 😋 Spiced up with grape seed flour, they provide an extra portion of antioxidants, because grape seeds contain the special phytochemical OPC, which is a very powerful antioxidant and thus protects our cells from free radicals. Its ORAC value (the value for the effect of antioxidants) is one of the highest and around 20 times stronger than vitamin E. In addition, grape seed flour contains over 50% fibre and is excellent for baking as it retains its valuable ingredients despite being heavily heated.
Have you ever baked with grape seed flour? I will definitely use this power flour more often from now on! 🥰 You’ll find more information below.
Happy baking! ♥
