Vegan Omelets with Garbanzo Bean Flour & Veggies
Makes 3 small omelets
Ingredients
1 cup garbanzo bean flour
½ tsp. garlic powder
½ tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. baking soda
Mixed veggies, diced (I used zucchini, cherry tomatoes and red onions)
1/8 cup red onion, optional
salt & pepper, to taste
fresh chives, optional
1 cup water
1 tsp. apple cider vinegar
Directions
- Heat and grease a 6-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- In a medium bowl, combine garbanzo bean flour, baking powder, baking soda, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Add water and apple cider vinegar. Mix until well combined and smooth.
- At this point, the diced veggies can be folded into the batter, or you can sprinkle them on to the batter after it is poured onto the skillet.
- Using a 1/3 cup, portion out the batter and pour onto the greased skillet.
- Cook for 4-5 minutes, flip and repeat. Try to keep skillet greased between rounds to avoid sticking.
- Serve hot with diced fresh chives, if you desire.
