    7 Recipes You Can Make With Chickpea Flour

    Published: Jan 24, 2017 · Updated: Mar 4, 2021 · This post may contain affiliate links.

    The vegan diet is more than just cutting out animal-based foods. It is also a health-based lifestyle that seeks out the best ways to maximize nutrition. One way to do that is to swap out regular flour for chickpea flour.

    Chickpea flour is a great source of fiber to help keep things moving smoothly. It is also an anti-inflammatory food and helps promote a healthy heart. It’s so much more than just a gluten-free flour replacement because it offers a ton of benefits on its own!

    Here are seven killer recipes featuring the nutrition-packed flour.

    #1 Omelets

    Omelets are a delicious and fun way to sneak veggies into your breakfast. Instead of using eggs, make a swap with chickpea flour, instead. Just a warning, though: this recipe is packed with much more than an egg replacement. Nutritional yeast and turmeric not only give it a rich flavor but they also give the omelet some added nutrition.

    #2 Spanish Chickpea Fritters with Romesco Sauce

    Fritters are super fun to eat and a totally social food. These fritters are even better because they are absolutely brimming with flavor and nutrition, leaving little room for guilt. The Romesco Sauce is really the key here. It is made with fresh herbs, roasted red peppers, a dash of paprika and some vinegar. This recipe will probably become a favorite in your household!


    #3 Chocolate Chip Cookies

    Cookies are what childhood dreams are made of, but once we reach adulthood they become synonymous with guilt. These chickpea based cookies, however, will wipe the guilt away. Unlike many vegan cookie recipes, these are packed with flavor and the gooey essence that chocolate chip cookies are best known for. They are also naturally full of fiber so you can feel good with every bite you take.

    #4 Farinata with Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Olives

    This farinata is described as a “savory pancake” thanks to the sun-dried tomatoes and kalamata olives. Throw in a handful of chopped spinach to get a veggie-filled meal. It’s super easy to make, fiber-filled and delicious.

    #5 Quinoa Burgers

    Quinoa burgers can sometimes be hit and miss, as quinoa tends to crumble under the first bite. These burgers, though, stay true to form, thanks to the chickpea flour. This particular recipe is loaded with flavor and held together by oats, chickpea flour, and quinoa. Some fresh herbs along with garlic and onions give it a rich taste.

    #6 Spicy Cilantro Crackers

    If you have been looking for the opportunity to branch out in your repertoire, this is it. These crackers are a homemade delicacy that travels well and pleases the masses. Unlike traditional crackers, though, they are full of fiber so that they don’t get in the way of smooth digestion.

    #7 Pizza Crust

    Let’s be honest: pizza crust is the best part of the pizza. Unfortunately, it is usually loaded with gluten and not much else. This recipe takes care of all of that by using chickpea flour as the base. It’s super easy to make, sturdy, and equally delicious in its own right. There is no need to skip pizza night anymore!
    Give chickpea flour a try with one of these recipes and you will surely want to add it into your regular rotation. Best of all, you won’t be sacrificing flavor, nutrition, or ease with any of these!
