I know what you’re thinking – chickpea scramble?! But trust me on this one. Chickpeas are a perfect vegan replacement for scrambled eggs. And using chickpea flour makes the process super quick.

Not only do they taste similar, but they pack a nutritional punch and offer many health benefits. These include being high in fiber and protein, as well as antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. Chickpeas can help regulate blood sugar levels, improve heart health and reduce the risk of cancer. They are also a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for brain health.

The key to making a great chickpea scramble is in the spices you choose. Turmeric, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder are all must-haves for the ultimate flavor profile. Not included in this particular recipe but a favorite of mine to add is a sprinkle of nutritional yeast. It adds a hint of cheesy goodness that can bring the flavor profile to a whole new level!
