Amazing Power of Chickpea Flour
The original recipe essentially called for only one ingredient: ½ cup of chickpea flour. I usually dislike food make from chickpea (sometimes called garbanzo bean) flour, so I was very hesitant to even try these, but I’m always looking for a gluten free recipe that doesn’t use eggs or milk. Vegan recipes suit my needs. Surprisingly, I couldn’t taste much of the beany flavor of the chickpea flour! That led me to experimenting, as usual. I subbed half the chickpea flour for cassava flour. At the time, my daughter needed some time off gluten but also can’t have rice, so cassava flour was fitting nicely with our needs. Using half chickpea, half cassava left me with a pancake that still had the benefit of chickpea flour (sticky binding, egg-like power thanks to fiber and protein) but without the aftertaste I dislike.
Topping Possibilities
It’s pretty much impossible to mess these up. They have been successfully made with cassava, rice and almond flour. They’re delicious made with blueberries, raspberries, or pecans mixed in. Or top them with bananas, almond/ peanut/ cashew butter, honey, or maple syrup… Just don’t skip the chickpea flour- it’s the magic behind the no-egg recipe!
Cooking Tips
The batter will be thick with only 1/4 cup water. Stir and reassess if you need more water, depending on what type of second flour you use. Add additional water if needed, 1 Tbsp at a time, until it is thick but spoonable into the pan.
To ensure pancakes don’t stick, remember to heat your dry pan first, then add a little oil/ butter/ spray, and only then pour the batter. Proper pan care makes this recipe work in an enamel pan or cast iron skillet without the need for yucky non-stick Teflon.
