Equipment
- 1 Non-Pan Stick
Ingredients
- 1 cup chickpea flour
- 1 cup water (or plant-based milk for extra flavor)
- ½ tbsp baking powder (for fluffiness
- 1 tbsp olive oil or melted coconut oil
- ½ tbsp salt
- ½ tbsp turmeric or cumin (for savory pancakes) or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for sweet pancakes)
- Optional add-ins: Chopped herbs, grated veggies (for savory) or cinnamon, maple syrup (for sweet)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, baking powder, salt, and any spices of your choice. Gradually add water or plant-based milk while whisking to create a smooth batter. Stir in the oil for extra moisture.
- Allow the batter to sit for about 5–10 minutes to let the chickpea flour absorb the liquid, which improves the texture.
- Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with oil. Pour ¼ cup of batter into the pan, spreading it slightly. Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown.
- Stack your pancakes and add your favorite toppings. Enjoy them with avocado, hummus, or fresh veggies for a savory twist, or drizzle with honey and fruits for a sweet version!
