Chickpea flour Omelette with spinach, onion, tomato, bell peppers. Vegan Glutenfree Soyfree nutfree recipe

August 3, 2012 By Richa 85 Comments

Jump to Recipe   Print Recipe

This chickpea flour omlette is full of veggie goodness and one hundred percent vegan and gluten free. A quick and easy recipe Jump to Recipe   

 
Its an egg, its tofu, no its just a very allergy friendly, soy free, I cant believe this is an omellette. Pardon my attempt at humor. I am super sleepy:) I just finished watching the amazing Gabby win the Gold, such a proud moment and then Phelps… this guy Phelps. He is such a fantastic athlete. I had a crush on him all through Beijing…
( Testing 1 2 3.. testing to see if hubbs reads my posts šŸ˜‰
Testing complete..
 
Omelette with thicker batter. (additional chickpea flour)
 
 
 
 
This Omelette is made of chickpea flour. The flax meal and oat flour add some volume and eggy slickness to the batter. Lots of veggies and a hint of black salt make this a perfect non egg smell, versatile omelette base. So here comes The Denver, The Seattle, The Californian, The colarado, The country!.. omelette variations šŸ˜‰
 
This version is adapted from my Chilla– chickpea flour crepes with indian spices, that we usually eat on the weekends. Chilla is a thinner batter consistency and not leavened.
 
Pictured on this post, with onions, tomatoes, green bell pepper, carrot, spinach and arugula, leavened a little and made into one fluffy breakfast. Some mushrooms would be scrumptious in this. Add salt to taste. Err on the side of using less, since I do like mine more salty.
 
 
Steps:
Mix in flaxmeal and water and let sit for 5 minutes.

Add salt, spices, oat flour

 
Add veggies, chopped small, as many as you want.
 
 
Drop the entire batter on a large, lightly greased, heated non stick pan on medium heat.
 
 
Cover and cook on medium for 7-8 minutes.
 
 
Fluffyy. drop a few drops on oil on the edges. Continue to cook for 5-7 minutes. Check for doneness. It might break apart if you try to flip too soon( depends on the consistency of the batter and thickness of the omelette).
 
 
Flip and cook uncovered for another 4-5 minutes.
 

 
Serve hot! deliciousness..

Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon flaxmeal
  • 1 Tablespoon Oat flour or omit
  • 1/3 cup (40 g) chickpea flour besan
  • 1/2 cup (125 ml) water
  • 1/4 teaspoon (0.25 teaspoon) salt
  • a generous pinch of black salt/kala namak 1/8 teaspoon
  • a generous pinch of garlic powder 1/8 teaspoon
  • pinch of turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) baking powder
  • a few Tablespoons each of chopped onion bell peppers, tomato, carrots( 1/3 to 1/2 cup total veggies)
  • 1/2 (0.5 ) Jalapeno or serano chili pepper finely chopped or use black pepper/cayenne to taste
  • 1/4 cup (7.5 g) packed chopped spinach or greens

Instructions

  • In a bowl, add flaxmeal and warm 1/4 cup water.
  • whisk and let sit for 5 minutes. Prep the veggies.
  • Mix baking powder in the chickpea flour.
  • Add in the chickpea flour,Ā oat flour, salt, spices and 1/4 cup more water and mix.Ā and whisk for half a minute to combine well and to help the batter get airy.
  • (Or use garfava(garbanzo and fava bean flour), instead of flax,oat, chickpea. Mix in baking powder in garfava flour and add water. garfava makes a thicker mixture and a fatter fluffier omelette. you might need additional water if the batter is too thick)
  • Add the veggies, jalapeno, greens and fold in well.
  • Heat a non stick pan at medium heat and grease a little.
  • Drop the batter on the hot pan and tap once or twice to spread. (Or use spatula to spread the veggies a bit)
  • Cover with a lid and cook for 7 minutes.
  • Take lid off, add a few drops of oil on the edges, cook for another 5-7 minutes(depends on the consistency of the batter).
  • Flip and cook for 5-6 minutes.
  • Add more greens and/or non dairy cheese, fold and serve with ketchup, toasts and hash browns.

Notes

If making a larger batch, or keeping the batter sitting for long, the veggies will leak some moisture into the batter. Check consistency and Whisk a few teaspoons of chickpea flour into the batter to thicken, just before making the next omelette. (This quantity can also make 2 medium-small omelettes. They will cook faster and will be easier to flip)

    I love a good chickpea pancake! I have had issues in the past being able to flip them though. I love that you added the tip to place a few drops of oil on the edges, perfect! Thanks for sharing this one Richa!

    I just made my first chickpea omelette and it couldn’t have come out better. I had some southwest hash browns with chilies and onions left over so I warmed them up and added some fresh salsa. After I flipped the omelette I add some vegan cheddar while the underside finished cooking then added the potatoes and folded the omelette in half and served with a side of guac and vegan sour cream. My husband just loved it. Thanks for the website and the valuable tips and directions.

    Hi Richa! This omelette recipe looks amazing. So — I am actually thinking of making this as little omelettes for a dinner party, to go with a cheesy bean soup (sorry, didn’t go totally vegan!) and various bread choices. But, how do you think they would do under warming conditions, just sitting? I was going to keep a stack of them covered in the toaster oven. I’m wondering if water will leak out of the veggies and make them mushy. I was planning on spinach/tomato/mushroom…. What do you think? And thanks again for sharing your talents!

      they should be fine. There will be some moisture from the veggies, but most of it cooks out when making the omelet, so that shouldnt affect the texture much

    5 stars
    This was amazing! The hubs said it looks and tastes almost exactly like real restaurant omelettes. My approach was a bit inefficient as I measured out ingredients for each of three omelettes individually, so next time I’ll probably mix up the dry ingredients all together and store the mix ahead so I can just add the flax ā€œeggsā€, water and veggies when ready to cook. The only change I made was to sub the oat flour for semolina.
