About the Recipe
A high-protein pancake which is light and packed with minerals.

Ingredients
2 cups chickpea flour (also known as gram flour)
1⅔ cups water
1 pinch ground cumin
2 pinches sea salt
1 pinch freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil, for frying
Preparation
Step 1
Whisk together the chickpea flour, water, cumin and seasoning.
Step 2
Leave to stand for 30 minutes at room temperature to allow the chickpea flour to fully absorb the water. Prepare your toppings in the meantime.
Step 3
Lightly brush a small frying pan with olive oil and set over a medium–high heat.
Step 4
Pour in enough batter to coat the pan, swirl around and cook for 1–2 minutes until golden.
Step 5
Flip the base over (it's ready when it flips over easily) and cook the other side for 1–2 minutes until golden brown. Cook longer for a crispier base. Repeat to make the remaining pancakes.
Step 6
Add your favourite toppings: avocado dip, basic chickpea hummus, roasted vegetables with tahini or scrambled eggs — and enjoy!
Wheat free and gluten free, chickpea flour (also known as gram flour) is a healthy alternative to white flour. It is a protein-rich breakfast with added fibre, folic acid, an array of minerals and low in fat, providing the right kind of energy to start the day.
