Chickpea Flour Pancakes
Ingredienti
- 1 bicchiere Farina di ceci - known as garbanzo bean flour (NOT besan or gram flour)
- 2 cucchiaini Lievito in polvere - or 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3 cucchiai Zucchero di canna non raffinato - coconut sugar or sugar-free erythritol/Monk fruit
- ½ tazza + 2 tablespoons Latte di mandorla - vanilla, unsweetened or plant milk of your choice
Opzionale
- 1 cucchiaino da tè Estratto di vaniglia
- ½ cucchiaino da tè Cannella
Istruzioni
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the chickpea flour, baking powder, sugar until well combined, and no lumps show.
- Whisk in unsweetened almond milk until smooth. Note that chickpea flour makes lumps easily. To avoid that, whisk vigorously until no more is left. It's OK to have a few lumps, but the less, the better it tastes! You can also blend the batter in a blender for an ultra-smooth texture.
- Warm a non-stick crepe pan or non-stick pancake griddle under medium heat. Slightly grease the pan with vegetable oil, about 1/2 teaspoon. I suggest rubbing a piece of oiled absorbent paper on the pan to avoid too much oil. Adding too much oil will fry your pancakes, and it is not what you want.
- Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of batter per pancake, depending on the size you like.
- cuoco 2-3 minuti on one side or until the sides are half set, bubbles form in the center, and it is easy to flip without breaking.
- Slide a spatula under the pancake and flip over. Cook ancora 1 minuto on the other side or until the center is set and the pancake is fluffy.
- Cool on a rack and repeat until no more batter left. You should be able to make 8 medium size pancakes from this batter.
- Serve immediately with maple syrup, banana slices, and fresh blueberries.
Note
- You can add 1/3 cup vegan dark chocolate chips or fresh blueberries to the batter before cooking.
- You can freeze the cooked pancakes in a zip bag or airtight container. Make sure they don’t overlap. It makes it easier to defrost one-by-one. Defrost 3-4 hours or overnight at room temperature. Rewarm in a pancake griddle or toast for a few minutes in a toaster.
- You can make the batter ahead and cook your pancakes the day in the morning
Alimentazione
Ingredienti e sostituzioni
All you need to make this recipe for chickpea flour pancakes are 4 ingredients. Let’s see what you need.
- Farina di ceci, also is known as garbanzo bean flour – I love to use Bob’s Red Mill’s flour for this recipe. Before you start using your flour, make sure it has no lumps; if so, break them with a fork before measuring the flour for full precision. Chickpea flour can be reused in many other recipes like my Chickpea Flour Tortillas, Chickpea Flour Banana Bread, o Chickpea Peanut Butter Cookies.
- Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk – it’s great to use vanilla almond milk to add a delicious vanilla flavor to your pancakes. Chickpea flour can be slightly bitter, and vanilla is a great way to cover the flour’s bitterness. You can also use other dairy-free milk, but I believe almond milk is the best milk substitute for pancakes. It makes fluffy vegan pancakes!
- Baking Soda or baking powder if you don’t like the flavor of baking soda.
- Zucchero non raffinato – there are many options. I love coconut sugar or sugar-free erythritol. You must add a sweetener to your batter to balance the natural bitterness of chickpea flour.
Some people don’t appreciate the light, earthy flavor of chickpea flour. Below are some add-ins you can add to your pancake batter to increase its sweet delicious flavor.
- Estratto di vaniglia – add 1 teaspoon.
- Cannella macinata – add 1/2 teaspoon.
- mirtilli – fresh or frozen add 1/2 cup.
- Gocce di cioccolato vegane – add 1/3 cup.

Suono delizioso!

That’s so sweet! thank you
I take frozen pancakes and reheat in my airfryer until a bit crispy
Very smart idea!
Made my version with blueberries and a tablespoon of chunky peanut butter. Sounds crazy but worked! These pancakes are so sweet, no maple syrup needed.
Such a great news!
I’ve been struggling to find a vegan pancake recipe that’s lower carb/healthier but I was skeptical that this would taste good because of the limited ingredients. I love it!! This is THE BEST vegan pancake recipe I’ve ever made, and I’ve made a lot! Thank you for this fantastic recipe, it’s going to become a regular! Now I’m going to research other chickpea flour recipes.
I am so happy to hear that!
I made these with Bob’s red mill chickpea flour, coconut sugar and oat milk. I had to add a little extra oat milk because the batter was so thick. They cooked perfectly; no sticking at all (I used coconut oil) and they came out beautifully! They’re even better with a little All Fruit jam on top.
Chickpea flours vary from brands to brands, but as you said, it’s super simple to adjust the batter adding a splash more liquid if needed. Thanks for trying my recipes.
Excellent recipe, took me just few minutes and taste was surprisingly great
That’s what I like to hear! thank you for baking with me here.
I made the chick pea pancakes they turn out very good . I will make them again
Grazie mille!
love it! works fine with oat milk
Grazie!
