CHICKPEA FLOUR

Chickpea flour is certainly one of my favorite ingredients. It’s one of the most versatile flours – you can use it to make bread, cookies, pizza dough, socca, pancakes, to thicken soups, sauces, and gravies, as a crunchy coating or a binder in veggie burgers.

Moreover, it is high in protein (1 cup contains more than 20 g of protein), fiber, and micronutrients and is lower in carbs and calories than traditional wheat flour.

Being gluten-free, chickpea flour is great for people with celiac disease, gluten intolerance, or wheat allergy. However, if you’re worried about cross-contamination, make sure you buy flour that is certified gluten-free.
