Vegan Egg Patty Recipe With Chickpeas
Ingredients
"Egg" Patties
- 1 cup chickpea flour (also known as gram flour or garbanzo flour)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 3 tbsp nutritional yeast
- dash turmeric
- salt & pepper to taste use black salt for an "eggy" flavour
- 1 cup plain unsweetened plant milk
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp dry mixed herbs (optional, I use Italian seasoning)
Instructions
Making the "Egg" Patties
- In a large mixing bowl add chickpea flour, dry herbs, nutritional yeast, turmeric, baking powder, black salt, pepper, plant milk, and vinegar.
- Whisk thoroughly to combine.
- In a non-stick pan on medium heat, add olive oil or vegan butter to grease the pan. Pour ⅓ cup of the batter into the pan and use the edge of your spatula to gently square the edges if desired.
- Cook for about 2 minutes on medium heat. The edges should be slightly browned, and bubbles should be forming throughout. (Similar to when a pancake is ready to be flipped).
- Carefully flip the egg pattie, and cook the other side for 1-2 mins or until lightly golden brown. Fold the finished result into a nice square that will fit onto your english muffin or bagel.
- Continue this process with the rest of your batter. This should make 6 "egg" patties total.
- Serve on your favourite vegan breakfast sandwich, or as a side to pancakes or your other favourite vegan breakfast. Enjoy!
