Instructions

Place the chickpeas in a high-speed blender and secure the lid. Process until the chickpeas are very finely ground, about 1 to 2 minutes. Be warned-- it's VERY loud at first!
If you don't have a high-speed blender, you can also use a small coffee grinder or spice grinder. In this case, you'll only be able to work with 1/4 cup of dry chickpeas at a time. It takes about 60 to 90 seconds for a coffee grinder to grind the chickpeas very finely.
Pour the ground chickpea flour into a fine mesh sieve, arranged over a large bowl. Sift the flour, catching any large pieces that might have been missed by the blender. The sifted flour is ready to use in recipes right away! Store the chickpea flour in an airtight container for up to 6 months, or even longer if you keep it stored in the fridge or freezer.

Notes

Nutrition information is for roughly 1 cup of ground chickpea flour. This is automatically calculated, and is just an estimate, not a guarantee.
On average, 1 cup of dry chickpeas makes just under 1 1/2 cups of chickpea flour. In my experience, 1 cup of chickpea flour weighs roughly 120 grams, if you want to measure out exactly that weight in dry chickpeas, to make a single cup of flour for a recipe.
