So what is chickpea scramble?
Chickpea scramble comes together with just chickpea flour, water, nutritional yeast, turmeric, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
I prefer my scramble with vegetables mixed in, just to amp it up a bit. A few of my favorite add-ins are sweet potato, mushrooms, bell pepper, and jalapeño. But throw in your faves or what you have on hand!
Perfect for breakfast!

Quick and easy chickpea scramble
Ready to make it? Start by stirring the chickpea flour, water, nutritional yeast, and spices together in a bowl then set aside. Heat a tablespoons of olive oil in a nonstick pan over medium-low heat. Pour the chickpea flour dough into the pan and let cook for about three minutes, until the edges start to firm up a bit. Scramble the mixture and let sit again. Once the chickpea flour scramble comes together, break apart, and serve warm! I paired mine with veggies but it would be great on its own or served on toast!

I’ve never been a big egg fan, so I need to try this. I love tofu scramble, but imagine this is a little heartier, no?
This is a bit heartier than tofu scramble, but I love them both too 🙂
What a beautiful colour! Love tofu scramble I’ll have to try it this way too.
Thank you so much 🙂 Enjoy!!
