- Mix baking powder in the chickpea flour.
- Add in the chickpea flour, oat flour, salt, spices and 1/4 cup more water and mix. 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)

- 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)
