Steps

1

To make your castagnaccio, add 2 1/2 cups chestnut flour (300 grams), 1/3 cup pine nuts (50 grams), and 1/3 cup raisins (50 grams), previously soaked in water and drained, to a bowl.
2

Stir the ingredients with a spoon, then add 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil and enough water to form a smooth, even batter.
3

You can add more mixed nuts, chocolate chips, or brown sugar to sweeten, but keep in mind that both chestnut flour and raisins are already quite sweet.
4

Bake the castagnaccio in the oven at 350°F (180°C) for 40 minutes.
5

Let it cool and enjoy your castagnaccio!
