Notes on ingredients

You can find a complete list of ingredients with exact amounts and instructions in the recipe card below.
  • Chickpea flour: Chickpea flour is also known as garbanzo flour. It is one of the most nutrient-packed gluten-free flours available. It is high in protein (1 cup contains more than 20 g of protein), fiber, and micronutrients and lower in carbs and calories than traditional wheat flour. Being naturally gluten-free, it 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.

How to make it

You can find a complete list of ingredients with exact amounts and instructions in the recipe card below.

Step 1

To make chickpea flour batter stir together the chickpea flour, salt, turmeric, and baking powder.

Step 2

Add water and whisk together until blended completely making sure to eliminate all of the lumps.

Step 3

Let the batter sit for a couple of minutes.

Step 4

Heat a skillet over medium heat.

Step 5

When it is hot, add a little bit of olive oil. Scoop the batter (I used 1 tablespoon of batter for each pancake) and pour it onto the skillet.

Step 6

Cook for a couple of minutes on one side (until you can easily flip a pancake). Flip pancake and cook for another minute or two until lightly golden.

Serving suggestion

  • Serve with hummus and vegetables.

When I make these I add sautéed veggies to the batter before I fry them.
