Need a healthy pancake recipe? You HAVE to try these savoury chickpea pancakes that are completely vegan!

Award-winning chef and author of A Modern Way to Eat and A Modern Way to Cook, Anna Jones has shared her perfect pancake recipe incorporating products from Rude Health. These pancakes are ideal if you're looking for a healthy alternative and they're completely vegan!

Anna says: “I love these pancakes. I eat them straight out of the pan like traditional pancakes topped with a fried egg, some flash fried vegetables and cheese. Or I keep them in the fridge, heat them up gently in a pan and use them like wraps or instead of chapatis for dipping into curries. I’ve included some topping ideas below.”
