Ingredients
- 2-3 cups chickpeas dried
Instructions
- Blitz: Add the chickpeas to a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend them for about 2 minutes until you have a fine powder. You may have to pause throughout to stir to make sure all the chickpeas are evenly ground.
- Sieve: Pass the flour through a fine-mesh sieve or a flour sifter and toss away any large bits. Transfer the chickpea flour to a mason jar for storage or use it immediately in your favorite recipes.
Notes
- Is it possible to use cooked chickpeas to make chickpea flour? No...sort of. Chickpea flour should be made with raw, dried chickpeas. Blending cooked chickpeas will result in hummus, but that’s not the worst thing that could happen! If you really want to use chickpeas from a can, they need to be baked until they're completely dried out to remove all moisture from the chickpeas.
- Is chickpea flour gluten-free? Yes, chickpea flour is naturally gluten-free since it’s made exclusively from garbanzo beans. Not only is it gluten-free but it’s also high in protein, fiber, and many other important nutrients.
- My chickpea flour tastes bad. What did I do wrong? Raw chickpea flour has a subtle sourness or unpleasant flavor to some. However, once it’s cooked or baked the flour loses its potent flavor and blends perfectly into both savory and sweet dishes.
