Ingredients & substitutions
Chickpea flour: the star ingredient in this recipe. You can’t substitute this for any other type of flour. You can find chickpea flour at most grocery stores and health food stores.
Nutritional yeast: this is what gives the quiches that savoury slightly cheesy and eggy flavour. (in a good way!)Again this ingredient is hard to substitute, but if you don’t want to use it you can always use a 1/4 cup of your favourite non-dairy cheese or cream cheese.
Baking powder: to help the quiche rise
Salt, pepper, garlic powder: to season. Feel free to sub any of your favourite spices here! Onion powder, dried herbs or paprika.
2 cups almond milk: Any type of plant-based milk will work, or even regular milk if you don’t care if these are dairy-free. You can also substitute for water, however, I find the almond milk adds a bit more creaminess.
Red bell pepper: Any colour works but how pretty does the red look in these? If you don’t like pepper leave this out.
Jalapeno pepper: Adds a little bit of heat and kick to the mini quiche! Again this can be omitted
Red onion: For some kick. If you prefer shallots or spring onions you can use that instead.
Spinach: again, any of your favourite veggies can work here like kale, mushrooms, or broccoli
How to make this recipe
- Mix the dry ingredients together then add the almond milk and mix again. Finally, add in the chopped veggies to the bowl and mix to combine. The chickpea flour mixture will feel a bit liquidy, that’s ok! It will firm up a lot once baked.
- Spoon the batter evenly between a muffin pan and bake for about 30 minutes at 350 degrees F until golden brown.
Storage tips
Fridge: store in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 7 days. To reheat just pop them into the oven or the microwave (I prefer them reheated in the oven)
Freezer: these mini quiche are great to make ahead of time! Freeze them in a sealed container or freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. Defrost on the countertop and reheat in the oven.
Tips for making this recipe perfectly
- Don’t forget to grease your muffin pan! This will help prevent the mini quiche from sticking to the pan. You can also use a knife to gently release each mini quiche from the pan if you find the edges are sticking slightly.
- Not sure if the mini quiche is ready? Poke a toothpick in them after removing them from the oven. If the toothpick comes out with any wet batter on it, they need more time.

Should these be stored in the refrigerator?
Hi Sophie, yes these are best stored in the fridge!
Do you think I could use water instead of almond milk?
Hi Sophia, yes that will work just fine!
FANTASTIC!! I added a bit of cilantro. YOU’RE a ROCK STAR!! LOVE THEM!!!
Also ..THE BEST chia pudding recipes that I have found!!! You are a GIFT!!!
OMG! These are so good! I found the chickpea flour and wow it worked! So good, so creative, I just made quiche…!
So happy you enjoyed them Lucy!
These were so delicious! It is such a versatile recipe. I ended up using oat milk and using peppers and asparagus instead of spinach. But they were still amazing! If you want a more “eggy” taste then Indian Black Salt can be added or throw in your favorite vegan cheese or meat substitutes if thats what you like. I seriously just love recipes like this that work as a reliable “base” that can be used for any of your favorite add ins/leftovers. 5 stars!
Thanks Christina! So happy you enjoyed them 🙂
Just made these and they are very tasty…love the jalapeño in the mix…adds a nice spicy hot touch. Husband liked them …I was pleased. I had to bake them about 45 minutes. Might be my oven. Thanks for a fun recipe.
Happy you enjoyed the recipe Sherrie!
I have a sensitivity to nutritional yeast. Will this recipe still work without it? What is a substitute for nutritional yeast? I have a sensitivity to wheat and wheat products.
Yes it will still work! It’s just for flavour.
