Servings: 3 omelettes
Calories: 167kcal
Ingredients
- ¾ cups chickpea flour
- 2 Tablespoons nutritional yeast flakes
- ¼ teaspoon black salt
- ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ⅔ cups water
- ½ tablespoon vegetable oil
- ¼ teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ cup water
- filling of your choice
- ¾ teaspoon vegetable oil divided, for cooking the omelettes
Instructions
- In a large bowl combine the chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, salt and all of the spices. Do not add the baking powder yet.
- Pour in the water, apple cider vinegar and oil if using into the dry ingredients. Use a whisk to mix and combine until there are no lumps. The batter will be a bit thick, don’t worry.
- Set the bowl aside for 10 minutes. For best results you need to let the chickpea flour rehydrate as best as possible. You can make or reheat your fillings at this time.
- After 10 minutes mix in the baking powder and a little bit more water. The batter will be thinner now.
- Heat a medium-small pan over medium heat. Once hot drizzle in a little bit of oil or a small knob of vegan butter. Swirl the oil or melted butter around the pan making sure to coat the edges.
- Give the batter a quick mix. Measure out a 1/2 cup of the batter and pour it into the pan. Quickly swirl the pan around to create the round shape going all the way to the edges.
- Cook the omelette for 7 minutes or until the surface looks dry and you see the edges pull away from the side of the pan.
- Carefully flip over and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until you see the slightly crisp edges.
- You can add the filling right in the pan then flip the omelette in half. Or place the cooked omelette on your serving plate, add the filling, flip in half and serve. Repeat until you’ve used all of the remaining batter.
Notes
- Chickpea flour is also known as gram or besan flour.
- Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor and for extra protein and nutrition.
- The Black salt is also called kala namak and is what will help give this vegan omelette that "eggy" flavor.
