Vegan Omelette

Vegan Omelette

I’m sure today’s recipe topic might have gotten you little confused but yeah, vegan omelette does exist. In other words, you can make an omelette without breaking any eggs. 

I often use oats flour or whole wheat flour for most of the flour based recipes because it’s gluten free and healthy.  But I wanted to expend my horizons and try out a new ingredient for my recipes so I went ahead a bought a chickpea flour pack. 

So far I’ve tried couple of recipes with chickpea flour, chickpea flour waffles (will be uploaded soon), chickpea flour pizza, chickpea flour crepes which didn’t come out quite as expected but that led me to this creation – I guess there’s a silver lining after all

The chickpea flour crepes didn’t come out as expected, it was too thick and I didn’t like the taste of it. It tasted like something made with eggs which gave me the idea ? why not try making a vegan omelette. It had the taste, the color, the texture and the consistency! Bingo! Ladies and gentleducks I present to you the Chickpea flour omelette! 

I went ahead and did some Google search to see if anyone ever tried it and guess what, there were lot of chickpea flour omelette recipes. Without confining myself to the existing recipes I went ahead creating my own twist.
