It’s such a healthy alternative to my classic Vegan Pancakes, Vegan Banana Pancakes, or Vegan Almond Flour Pancakes.
Ingredients and Substitutions
All you need to make this recipe for chickpea flour pancakes are 4 ingredients. Let’s see what you need.
Chickpea Flour, also is known as garbanzo bean flour – I love to use Bob’s Red Mill’s flour for this recipe. Before you start using your flour, make sure it has no lumps; if so, break them with a fork before measuring the flour for full precision. Chickpea flour can be reused in many other recipes like my Chickpea Flour Tortillas, Chickpea Flour Banana Bread, or Chickpea Peanut Butter Cookies. Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk – it’s great to use vanilla almond milk to add a delicious vanilla flavor to your pancakes. Chickpea flour can be slightly bitter, and vanilla is a great way to cover the flour’s bitterness. You can also use other dairy-free milk, but I believe almond milk is the best milk substitute for pancakes. It makes fluffy vegan pancakes! Baking Soda or baking powder if you don’t like the flavor of baking soda. Unrefined Sugar – there are many options. I love coconut sugar or sugar-free erythritol. You must add a sweetener to your batter to balance the natural bitterness of chickpea flour.
