Chickpea Frittatas

What a miracle these little babies are! They've become an absolute staple in our weekly food plans. They're protein-rich, easy to make, freeze well, and taste SO good! They have all the delightful savory richness of an egg frittata without any of the drawbacks.

Without further adieu, we present the recipe below. Notice the absence of oil and the nutrient bang for your buck you get with the added vegetables, as well as the fiber boost from all of the ingredients. Don't forget that fiber is arguably the most important (and most neglected) nutrient for good health ... and happiness.

NOTE: This recipe will make 12 frittatas. We usually double the recipe so we have plenty to freeze. With the recipe doubled, we simply use 1 onion, 1 green pepper, 1 tomato, and 1 cup of mushrooms (or more if preferred). It makes is really simple.

• 1 1/2 cups chickpea flour

• 1/3 cup nutritional yeast

• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, (black salt for a more egg-like flavor)

• 1 teaspoon dried italian seasoning

• 2 cups water

• Approx. 1 1/2 cups chopped vegetables of choice, (peppers, onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, etc.) We like to saute these before adding to recipe.

• 1/4 cup vegan sausage crumbles (optional)

Instructions

• Preheat your oven to 375° F

• Place dry ingredients (chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, salt, and italian seasoning in a medium-sized mixing bowl and give it all a stir.

• Add water and blend very well.

• Stir in veggies and sausage crumbles if desired.

• Scoop about 1/4 cup of the batter into greased muffin tins (we highly recommend silicone muffin baking pans) to fill them almost to the top.

• Bake at 375°F (190° C)for about 30 minutes until they are dry on the top and have small cracks.

• Take out of the oven, let cool for about 15 minutes, then run a sharp knife around the edges to help release them from the muffin tin and transfer to a cooling rack. If you use silicone pans you can just flip the muffins out.

Enjoy them while they're hot and freeze the rest to use anytime! We love these frittatas because they check all the boxes for our food choices: plant-based, lots of protein, lots of fiber, lots of nutrients, low low fat, and calorie friendly. Oh yes, and tasty!
