Vegan Chickpea Flour Pancakes (3-ingredients, grain-free)

3-ingredient vegan chickpea flour pancakes are almost too good to be true! They are naturally grain-free, gluten-free, oil-free, and high in protein, too.

Vegan Chickpea Flour Pancakes

These pancakes have so much going for them, including incredible ease of assembly, great taste, and fluffy texture. But they are also nutritional heroes! They are:

• Vegan (dairy free, egg free)
• Gluten-free
• Grain-free
• Made with 3 ingredients
• a good source of plant protein
• High in fiber
• Nut free
• Oil free

Sound too good to be true? Lucky for all of us, it is 100% real. They are my 3-Ingredient Chickpea Flour Pancakes.

What is Chickpea Flour?

Chickpea flour is my new favorite flour; I hope you try it. It is nothing more than very finely ground chickpeas. It is also know as garbanzo bean flour, besan or gram flour. It can be used in remarkable ways, as a substitute for grain flours, but also as a multi-purpose egg-replacement when mixed with water (amazing)!

It is high in protein, high in fiber, and low in sugar, too.

Chickpea Flour Pancake Ingredients

To make these pancakes, you will need the following

• Chickpea flour (sifted, if lumpy)
• Coconut sugar 
• 2 and 1/4 teaspoons baking powder (gluten-free or grain-free, as needed)

You will also need a bit of water (feel free to use nondairy milk in its place). 

How to Make Chickpea Flour Pancakes

Grab a bowl and whisk the chickpea flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, and optional salt. Add the water and stir until it is thick batter.

Cook the pancakes by the 1/4 cup full on a nonstick griddle or a nonstick pan, just as you would regular pancakes.

The results are fluffy, filling and so delicious! I like to pie on the fruit, but syrup, nut butter, or whatever you please can be used as accessories, too.

The pancakes can be made without any added sugar, too! Add savory elements, like green onions, garlic, spices, and more.

Happy cooking, everyone! And here’s to many happy pancake memories :).
