What does a Chickpea Flour Omelette taste like?

It has a mild, savoury slightly nutty flavour, similar to a thin pancake or crepe, and takes on the flavour of the fillings and seasonings you add.

Why is my chickpea omelette sticking to the pan?

This usually means the pan isn’t non stick enough or the omelette hasn’t cooked long enough before folding. Let the edges lift naturally before moving it.

Instructions

In a bowl add the chickpea flour, baking powder, salt, turmeric, garlic powder, nutritional yeast and water and mix together until smooth. Set aside.
Heat 1/2 tbsp avocado oil in a non-stick skillet on medium-high heat, then add the scallion and red pepper and cook for 2-3 minutes. Then add the spinach and cook for about 1 minute, until the spinach is wilted. Season with salt and pepper.
To cook the omelette, spray an 8-inch non-stick pan with cooking spray on medium-high heat.
Spoon half of the omelette batter into the pan, using your other hand to swirl the pan in a circular motion, so the batter spreads out evenly on the pan.
Let cook on medium heat for 2-3 minutes until small bubbles start to form, then add the vegan cheese and half of the vegetable filling to the omelette.
Fold the omelette in half and let cook an additional 1-2 minutes.
Serve immediately.

Notes

Whisk the batter well to avoid lumps.
Cook the omelette on medium heat so it sets without burning.
Wait until bubbles form before flipping or folding.
Use a non stick pan to prevent sticking.
Enjoy fresh for the best texture.
