Recipe:
Chickpea Omelette
This wonderful egg-free omelette is easy to make and is good for any time of the day.
It’s the best invention for a vegan/plant-based breakfast since sliced bread! It’s vegan, gluten-free, soy-free, and of course egg-free, yet tastes surprisingly similar to an egg omelette! If you haven’t cooked with chickpea flour yet, you have to try this recipe! This is a real simple one and actually easier to make than a normal omelette, have a play around with the fillings too, you can chop and change it as you wish, as long as you keep the batter the same anything will work for a filling. I served mine with cherry tomatoes and avocado slices which is awesome too!
