I mean cheesy pizza is so last Thursday.
The world is a changin’. We’re putting grass-fed bacon in ice cream and flaked sea salt on chocolate and peanut butter on pizza and it’s all AHMAAAAZING.
So when the bloggy boos wanted to do brunch for this month’s theme, I thought, “what better to brunch on than a cheese-less, tomato sauce-less, not the least bit savory yet very round crust of sorts complete with chunky monkey toppings? Sounds just like pizza, right? Right-o.
It’s kind of like a circular open face pb nanner sammie. Actually it’s exactly like that. The chickpea flour crust is pretty dreamy because it cooks up in less than five minutes and is packed with fiber and protein. You can find it at pretty much any grocery store these days. For a quicker version, I’ve made a big pancake using Simple Mills pancake mix with an additional egg as the crust!
If you’re feeling savory, go back the old favorite, my Chickpea Flour Breakfast Pizza. It’s a real winner, loaded with eggs, salsa, avocado, and green onions galore. Ellie Goulding’s “Explosions” is coming to mind. Flavor explosions, that is. This Fruity Flourless Breakfast Pizza is another heavenly choice!
Basically this vegan and gluten-free chickpea flour crust is totally customizable. Swap the almond milk for water and the maple and cinnamon for garlic and salt before slathering it with avocado and red pepper flakes. Avocado toast pizza anyone?! OMG can we please make that a thing?! Insert praying hand emoji here.

Pizza for breakfast is the best kind of breakfast! I usually make my breakfast pizza base out of coconut four or oats but I love that you used chickpea flour, I’ll have to try that, thanks for sharing 🙂

I die for anything peanut butter and banana. Then you went and added protein-packed chickpea flour and this pizza became everything my breakfast dreams are made of. It’s PERFECT.
I was also super impressed with Lindsay’s bagels. Those things are the real deal! I wish we all brunch together IRL.
Thanks booo! Can we please have a bagel party?! I’ll bring the….Earth balance? Um.

YUM! I have been a longtime lover of your recipes, blog, and view on nutrition. I recently read The China Study and a few other books by Dr Mcdougall and I’m curious what your take is on his take on low-fat/no oils? I go back and forth on oil and high-fat plant-based foods, and I never know what to believe! I would love if you would do a post on this, or share some insight 🙂
Happy Thursday!
Hey there, Kate! I personally eat a good amount of healthy fats like nuts, nut butter, avocado, hemp seeds, chia seeds, etc. I do use olive oil and coconut oil but I woudn’t ever take them by themselves. Everyone is different but I coulnd’t imagine my life without healty fats and I do recommend them in moderation to my clients (snacking on 1/4 cup almonds, avocado toast with 1/4 an avocado, etc.) That said, I’m also not trying to reverse heart disease at the moment 😉
Makes total sense! And i’m happy to hear it 🙂 ‘cados are my life.
Thanks for the quick reply! 🙂

I recently tried a very similar recipe but instead of chickpea flour it had coconut flour, I’d be so interested to taste the differences in the two crusts! Topping it with banana and peanut butter still of course!

Yup, this recipe is so easy to make, but I still can’t get enough of it. Sometimes, instead of peanut butter, I add strawberry jam.
