After sweet gf pancakes, today, I am bringing a delicious savory Frittata. No Soy, no tofu, just beans, broccolini, spices and herbs. Serve it warm with a generous drizzle of Sriracha or a creamy cool ranch or both. Or Slice up and make Sammishes.
It makes a great breakfast or even a meal. There is Broccolini, carrots and Sun dried tomato in it. Add more or less veggies to preference. The White beans are spiced up with Thyme and lemon and mashed. The beans add a feta-ish taste as well as work to hold the frittata and reduce the chickpea taste. The base is chickpea flour batter. Mix it all up, and bake and done.
Serve this Frittata warm with Sriracha/ketchup, with favorite gravy or dressings or in a sandwich. Use a cookie cutter to cut up round patties for a burger 🙂

i love the idea of this in a sandwich!
Never mind in a sandwich imagine it with soup! That’s sound better to me.
Its gorgeous I MUST try!
Yummy, Richa! Heading to The Sweet Life for the deets!
This looks delicious! I always love your pies and pizzas; perhaps I will try this for breakfast this weekend. Thanks for the great recipes, as usual. 🙂
I would love to try these recipes.
I would love to try these recipes.
This sounds delicious – I love the idea of cutting it up to make baked veggie burgers as well 🙂
I made this tonight! Excellent! It cooked up faster than 50 mins. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe. I used frozen spinach for the greens.
what do you do if you are living in India and can’t find these beans here in the market. Any alternative?
You can use any similar beans to replace them any beans that cook to be soft and can be easily mashed. like black eyed peas (lobhia) white kidney beans ( white rajma), you can also use well cooked chickpeas/chana or cooked but not mushy chana dal.
What can I use to replace the chickpea flour?
try regular or oat flour. add 1/2 tsp turmeric for the color.
could the coconut milk be subbed for almond milk? thanks!
yes.
Is it 3/4 CUP of coconut milk?
yes! updated 🙂
This looks fab! Do you think this is something I could make at the beginning of the week and take for lunch daily? Just reheat? Or will it just become a mess as the week goes on?
yes, you can bake it and keep and carry for lunch 🙂
Absolutely delicious!… Thank you for sharing this recipe… I forgot to add the sun-dried tomatoes and it was still great. My side dish was steamed broccoli,… I would do it again. Happy Thanksgiving!
can we use black beans instead of white ?
I feel so happy to have found this wonderful site.
It sounds odd but until this I have never had omelette, frittata or anything with the dreaded eggs as the ingredient usually, I was so badly allergic as a child I still cannot bear the colour yellow! Even the smell nowadays makes me ill.
I am daring to gingerly go through them and having an amazing and unheard of experience very regularly!
So… Pensioner embarking on first of each is probably a big odd but these allergies do tend to bar foods for ever. It is so wondrous to have these terribly unusual breakfasts as I casually mention I am having an omelette for my brunch I am giving several a real shock as they know fine well I am completely banned in their ways.
You know happiness is veganism and I have very quietly gone my way for years for it really does lead to the most amazing reactions in so many people.
Awesome! so glad you like it.
Thank you so much for coming up with delicious vegan, gluten free and soy free recipes! What a gift!
Hello,
I am making this in 2 batches, one to freeze for later on in the week. Should I bake it, freeze it and then reheat it, or just freeze the raw mixture and bake it only when I want to eat it?
Thanks for the recipe, I have your book and love it!
Gem
Bake and freeze. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
This frittata always comes out perfect. I use different beans and spices every few weeks.
I was looking for somehing to make with chickpea flour that also had the protein and this was perfect! I made it exactly as you said, and it turned out awesome! I liked it even better once it had a chance to cool so that it pieced out nicely. Reheating leftovers tastes great too!
Awesome! so glad it turned out so well!
Any substitute s for nutritional yeast please.. hard to find it !
omit it
I made this today and was not disappointed. It was SO yummy. I made it with cauliflower and lots of spinach. This will now be a regular dish in my life! I look forward to experimenting with different ingredients. Thanks so much!
awesome!
Thank you for the recipe. I made it once and came out perfect and now is again in the oven. I have one question though. You mean canned coconut milk or the other one?
This was delicious! I used broccoli, grated carrots, and green onions, and for the oil I used the oil from the sun-dried tomatoes. Topped with chopped kalamata olives and spicy ketchup. I also enjoyed the marinated beans so much that I think I will find a way to turn it into a dip! Thanks for the great recipe!
