What are chickpea Omelettes made from?
These vegan omelettes are made from chickpea flour aka garbanzo bean flour.  If you have never used chickpea flour before, it’s pretty amazing stuff!  It is high in protein and fiber and when mixed with water and cooked, has an egg-like flavor and texture.

Notes:

You can make as few or as many as you want.  This recipe is enough to make 1 omelette, but adjust to meet your needs.
You can also mix the dry ingredients ahead of time and keep in in a sealed container in the pantry, then when you are ready to make omelettes, you just need to add water and veggies.
Make sure it is cooked thoroughly!  Raw chickpea batter tastes terrible, but it magically turns delicious once it’s cooked.

Tips for making a great chickpea omelette every time:

Use a well-seasoned iron skillet or a non-stick frying pan.  It will stick to the pan more than an egg.
Let the omelette cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes until the top is no longer wet before flipping.
Saute the veggies first and then add them to the batter.  You can cook them and then pour the batter over the veggies in the pan, but I find it sticks more when I do it this way.
Don’t taste the batter!!!  Chickpea flour tastes awful before it’s cooked.  Once it is cooked through, it will be delicious!
What else can I do with chickpea flour?
