What is Chickpea Flour?
Chickpea flour is a versatile, nutrient-rich flour made from ground chickpeas. It’s naturally gluten-free, has a nutty flavour and a fine texture, making it easy to use in a variety of ways. If you haven’t tried it before or didn’t even know it existed, I invite you to add it to your pantry.
Why Chickpea Flour?
Chickpea flour is super healthy. It’s a great source of plant based protein, fibre and essential nutrients…
What do I do with it?
You might be surprised at how easy it is to use! I love to make savoury crepes with chickpea flour – they’re delicious and full of plant based protein. Here’s the recipe…
Chickpea Crepes With Smashed Avocado
INGREDIENTS
serves 1
METHOD
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, water, and half the salt until well combined. Let sit for 20 minutes.
In a small bowl, mash the avocado. Add the hemp seeds, nutritional yeast, and the remaining salt. Set aside.
Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chickpea batter and swirl the pan to create an even layer. Cook for three to four minutes, until set. The sides will pull away from the pan and you will be able to flip the crepe over with a spatula. Once flipped, cook for three minutes longer.
Remove the crepe and transfer to a plate. Add the avocado mixture to half the crepe and fold the other half over. Enjoy! I love this served with berries or a fruit salad.
