It’s no secret that I love tofu scramble but sometimes I like to limit my soy intake. That’s where chickpea scramble comes into play! It’s easy, healthy, and filling – the perfect breakfast? It’s definitely one of my new favorites.

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!

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 am loving this healthy filling breakfast. I think I would even serve it as a weekend brunch option. This time of year especially, people are looking to be healthier so I’d like to give them an option so they don’t have to completely blow their diet.

      This looks so good! I’ve made an omelet before with chickpea flour but never thought about using it to make a scramble. Pinning this so I don’t forget to try it!

      I have never had a chickpea scramble! We happen to love them and I bet my husband would devour this better-for-you dish. I’m excited to give it a try sometime and surprise him.
