With chickpeas and chickpea flour you can prepare delicious desserts which are protein-rich, and where you don’t taste chickpeas too much but have a very distinct flavor. Like these crêpes, which are a cross between pancakes and French crêpes, they’re sweet and can be enriched in various ways. Perfect for breakfast, as a snack and even after dinner.
Let's take a look at how to prepare them.
The recipe for sweet chickpea flour crêpes
Ingredients
5 oz chickpea flour, ½ cup water, ½ cup oat milk, ¼ cup rice milk, 1 tablespoon of icing sugar
Method
Sift the flour and mix with the icing sugar and pour in the water a little at a time. Use one hand to whisk preventing lumps from forming. Then add the milk and mix again with the whisk until the mixture is smooth, dense, and homogeneous. Heat a non-stick pan with a knob of butter. With a ladle pour in a little bit of the mixture, spread it as much as possible inside the pan by moving it a little bit and after a minute turn the crêpes over to the other side. Once ready put the crepes one on top of the other so that they do not dry out until they are all cooked, then top them with your favorite jam or with hazelnut cream. Healthy, balanced and delicious breakfast For a super energetic awakening we suggest serving chickpeas crêpes like this. Caramelize them in a pan with a little lemon juice and a sprinkling of brown sugar, bananas, pears, or apples. Perfume everything with cinnamon if you like and top your crêpes with the fruit still warm. Add some very creamy Greek yoghurt and some dried fruit grains, then to top it all off add a little honey or maple syrup and your super breakfast is ready!
Savory crêpes
For lovers of the savory breakfast, an equally tasty version is also a must have. Skip the sugar from the basic mixture recipe and add a pinch of salt with a mixture of dried herbs instead. Cook the crêpes in the same way and once they’re ready, top them with fresh cheese such as ricotta or goat cheese, fresh tomatoes, or tomatoes in oil, and maybe a few slices of avocado. Or you can opt for grilled vegetables, mushrooms, steamed vegetables and much more. Avoid slices of fish and meat because the basis of these crêpes is already very rich in protein.
