Ingredients
1 cup (~120 g) chickpea flour
1 and 1/3 cups (~314 g) water *See note
1/3 cup (~20 g) nutritional yeast
½ – 1 tsp chili powder, to taste
Pinch of turmeric (optional, but helps achieve a more egg-like color)
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper, or to taste
½ cup (~80 g) marinated artichoke hearts – recommend jarred over canned
¼ cup (~45 g) sun-dried tomatoes
1 garlic clove, or to taste
½ cup green peas (frozen or fresh)
4 tsp olive oil, divided
1 avocado
Other potential vegetables to add to the sauté: Diced onion, spinach, Swiss chard, mushroom (optional)
Optional toppings: Fresh herbs, cheese
Directions
- Add chickpea flour, water, nutritional yeast, chili powder, turmeric (if using), salt, and pepper to a bowl and whisk together well. It is a relatively thin batter.
- Let the mixture sit for 10-15 minutes so the chickpea flour becomes more fully hydrated. During this time, prepare the vegetables. Chop the artichoke hearts and sun-dried tomatoes into your desired bite size. Mince the garlic.
- In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook the artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, and green peas in 2 tsp olive oil.
- When warmed through, add the remaining 2 tsp of olive oil to the pan. Then add the chickpea flour batter. Rotate the pan so the mixture spreads out evenly.
- Cook for a few minutes, until you can see the edges are cooked and the middle is firming up. Then, using a spatula, break up the mixture to resemble scrambled eggs.
- Continue cooking until the batter is no longer moist and the chickpea flour scramble has begun to brown. Taste for seasoning and adjust if needed.
- Cube or slice the avocado, according to your preference. Serve the chickpea flour scramble warm, topped with avocado and any other desired garnishes.

Notes
- *For extra flavor, replace some of the water with artichoke marinade.
- I don’t like the texture of this as much the next day, after being stored in the fridge and heated up. I would recommend enjoying it fresh and making the amount you intend to eat.
- The video is for the original Savory and Simple Chickpea Flour Scramble, but hopefully it is still helpful in showing what the consistency of the batter looks like.
- For a burst of flavor and color, try adding chopped herbs to the chickpea flour batter.
