Well, Iโ€™ve got to say that these little blood orange and choc chip pancakes are pretty darn good!

Because pancakes are already good, right? But then, combined with beautiful zingy blood orange juice and little specs of cacao nibs running through them, itโ€™s takes the pancake to a whole new level. And they are super light too, which means of course you can eat more!

I topped them with a big dollop of coconut yogurt and some caramelised nuts I had let over from some recipe developing for a client. Delicious.

I created these with lots of my favourite organic ingredients; Doves farm organic buckwheat flour (an absolute staple), organic cacao nibs and lovely seasonal blood oranges.

Once again, Iโ€™m thrilled to support The Soil Association and their #flipittoorganic campaign for pancake day.

I know Iโ€™ve talked about it before, but hereโ€™s some more about why organic is so good!
Organic food comes from trusted sources. When you see the organic symbol, what you buy has been produced to the highest animal welfare and environmental standards.

Organic always means:
Fewer pesticides
The highest standards of animal welfare
No routine use of antibiotics
GM Free
No artificial colours & preservatives

I hope you enjoy! Love Niki xx.
