    Chickpea Flour Breakfast Pizza

    I get really, totally, super, weirdly obsessed with certain foods.
    Chickpea Flour Breakfast Pizza
    I had a gigantical crush on Trader Joe's raw creamy almond butter in 2013. Twas the year of the almond buttah. Like I put that shiz on everything. I also went through a huge kale salad with Annie's goddess dressing phase (I mean, who didn't) a few months before that. And let's not forget my obsession with Amy's burritos...oh wait, that's still going strong.
    The obsession as of late is garbanzo bean flour, which I'm sure comes as no surprise considering I myself am basically a chickpea. Chickpea flour is quite the nutrition powerhouse, providing five grams of fiber, six grams of plant-powered protein and ten percent of the daily value of iron in a measly fourth cup serving. As you may know, chickpeas don't come off the boat wet in a can--they're actually dried little gems...which means that chickpea flour is simply ground chickpeas! Basically, you kind of feel like you're eating bread when really you're eating legumes. What a mind game!
    Chickpea Flour Breakfast Pizza
    PS--Do you like the big "A" on my garbanzo bean flour? That's what happens when you have two roommates who eat exactly what you eat. PPS--garbanzo bean flour won't break the bank like almond flour kind of does. In fact, you can find it for less than three dollars!
    Now listen here. Chickpea flour can't really be subbed in for other flours, and it does have a bit of a beany (but quite yummy!) taste to it. But the good news is that you can combine it in equal proportions with water, cook it up, and spread whatever the heck you want on it! Almond butter, nanners and cinnamon. Hummus, avocado, tomatoes. Or maybe just plain old garlic hummus with hot sauce. So you're basically eating chickpeas with chickpeas on top. How dreamy is that situation?!

    I hope you didn't read the title of this post and feel intimidated by the word "pizza." The chickpea flour base "crust" cooks in ten minutes, and you don't even have to do anything. Just let it do its thang in the pan. AKA #noexcuses!
    I've actually been eating this for lunch more-so than breakfast, but it's a super easy meal idea for any time of day. You could also just use the crust recipe and top it with tomato sauce, cheese and veggies if you're feeling more of a traditional pizza. Just make sure not to try the batter uncooked...don't say I didn't warn you!

    Description

    A gluten-free breakfast pizza packed with fiber and protein to start your day off right!


    Ingredients

    Units Scale

    For the crust:

    • ⅓ cup garbanzo bean flour
    • ⅓ cup water
    • ¼ tsp garlic powder
    • ⅛ tsp salt
    • Pepper, to taste

    For the toppings:

    • 2 eggs, beaten
    • 3-4 tbsp salsa
    • ¼ of an avocado, cubed
    • Sliced green onions, for serving

    Instructions

    1. Heat a small pan sprayed with cooking spray over medium heat. In a small bowl, stir together garbanzo bean flour, water, garlic powder, salt and pepper until smooth.
    2. Pour batter into pan and cook for about 6 minutes. Flip and cook for another 4 minutes (the crust should be very easy to flip--if not, let it cook a couple minutes longer).
    3. Remove crust from pan. Spray the pan again and add beaten eggs to the pan. Scramble until set.
    4. Spread salsa over crust. Add scrambled eggs, cubed avocado and green onions. Season with salt and pepper and serve!

      Hi, I just came across your recipe linked from another website. I have a question. Can the crust be used like a tortilla? I have stopped eating tortillas (except for when I get street tacos!) and am looking for a substitute.
      Your recipe looks wonderful! I will definitely try it.

        Hey there! Good question. The texture is kind of soft and fluffy-ish so it would be more like a thicker, soft shell if that makes sense. Try thinning out the batter perhaps? More like a crepe than a taco shell πŸ™‚

      This looks great, but I'm even more intrigued with the idea of using this as a healthier trad pizza crust to feed the animals in my house. I was wondering if I wanted to make a larger pizza crust with this, can I just double or even quadruple the crust recipe?

          One more ?. Using your crust cooking method, is the final result more akin to a pancake or a firm crackery crust?

      Crushing so hard on this pizza right now, I made it for breakfast a few days ago and today for lunch I topped it with salsa and sauteed chicken and spinach! Super delish! (And a tiny bowl of you Vegan Cream of Broccoli Soup- I'm Hummusapien obsessed!)

      Alexis, I just found your blog after seeing your flyer at Barre3 and I have to say I've already pinned several things to help inspire me!
      I'm always looking for gluten free alternatives, so I'm excited to try this recipe out! My question/concern is that my work week can get a bit hectic and wanted to know if this is an item you make on prep day for the whole week? I wasn't sure of what the staying power was, or if it could be reheated?

        December 02, 2014 at 5:47 pm

        Hi Shea! I'm so glad you found me through Barre3! The crust could definitely be made prior and reheated, but you should scramble the eggs right before eating since those won't reheat well. Hope that helps!

      Hey Alexis - this looks delish! I'm always on the lookout for alternative / creative ways to cook and you're blog and instagram have given me so much inspiration! I wanna make this pizza but i don't think that garbanzo flour is something that i can easily access (and cheaply) here in Denmark. I for sure know i can get dried garbanzo beans for a reasonable price, so if i bought those and blended them in a food processor, would it be the same thing?
      Keep up the awesome work!

      Second - I get so weirdly obsessed with certain foods too. At the moment it is buckwheat, cashew butter and coconut anything. Not altogether though - but that would so work!!
