ini Omelet Kacang Kuda is an egg-free vegan chickpea flour omelette recipe perfect for a protein vegan breakfast. The texture is soft and chewy with a lovely egg flavor from the black salt and yellow color from chickpea flour and turmeric. It’s an easy and healthy 10-minute vegan savory breakfast to start the day!
I love making vegan substitutes to classic recipes. While for some recipes, like my Krep Vegan, all it takes are a few adjustments to the classic recipe, making an omelette with chickpea required a full rethink of the whole thing! Omelets are synonymous with eggs, so I had to find a way of getting the very same texture with another ingredient. This omelette is a great alternative to my Berebut Tauhu and I make both almost every week, so you can be sure it’s a no-fail recipe!
Chickpeas have a natural egg taste and the brine from canned chickpeas is used to make aquafaba, an egg white analogue. So naturally, I thought of using whole chickpeas to make a vegan omelette. All it took was finding the right balance of ingredients to get the best texture and including Kala Namak (black salt) to boost the sulfur egg-like flavors of this magnificent breakfast.

Why Using Chickpeas?
This vegan omelette recipe is entirely made of chickpea flour, water, and spices. If you are new to chickpea flour in cooking, let me tell you more about it.
Chickpea flour is also known as garbanzo bean flour. It’s a fine, yellowish gluten-free flour made of ground white chickpea. It’s not the same as besan flour or gram flour made of ground chana dal or split brown chickpeas.
Chickpea and Besan flours have very similar flavors, and some people find a bitter aftertaste to chickpea flour that is easily overcome with flavoring or toppings in the recipe. Both flour varieties have different textures, so don’t swap chickpea flour with besan flour in a recipe. In fact, besan chickpea flour is much finer and often needs less water than chickpea flour in recipes.
Overall, both flour varieties are quality sumber protein vegan to bake or cook with.
Why Chickpea Flour Omelets Are Amazing

- Naturally egg-free, dairy-free, vegan, gluten-free, and nut-free.
- Loaded with 13 grams of protein!
- Great for breakfast or lunch
- Very realistic egg taste without any artificial ingredients

Bahan dan Pengganti
All you need to make this vegan chickpea flour omelette are:

- Chickpea Flour or garbanzo bean flour – Don’t use besan flour, or you may have to adjust the liquid in the recipe. You can’t use wheat flour or any other flour in this recipe. It won’t work! Chickpeas contain base chemicals that resemble egg flavors (sumber).
- Garam hitam – Himalayan black salt known as Kala Namak is an Indian volcanic rock salt that contains traces of elements like sulfates, sulfides, iron, and magnesium, all at the origin of the eggy flavor and smell of black salt.

How To Make Chickpea Omelette
This vegan omelette gets its texture and color from gluten-free chickpea flour. It’s a healthy flour often used on a vegan, gluten-free diet untuk membuat tauhu hancur, chickpea pancakes, crepes, or wraps.

- First, add all the ingredients, except the filling, to a medium mixing bowl and whisk until few to no more lumps are visible. Sometimes, chickpea flour forms lumps that are difficult to remove with a whisk. If so, you can blend the liquid in a small food processor or blender.

- Next, let the vegan omelette batter rest at room temperature while you prepare the omelette fillings.

- Stir fry mushroom slices, spinach, and red pepper for 2 minutes in olive oil. Set aside.
- In the same non-stick pan, add more olive oil and warm it over medium heat.

- Pour the chickpea batter into the pan and cook the omelet for 3-4 minutes until the sides and center are dry. Spread the cooked omelette filling on half of the omelette, add dairy-free grated vegan cheese too if you like, then fold the omelette to melt.

My omelette crumbled a bit and fell apart. Any suggestions?
This can omelette if you overcooked the omelet or cook it too fast or the pan is too wide resulting in such a thin omelet that it cook super fast. Maybe try a smaller pan and reduce the heat to cook gently. Enjoy
So delicious and “eggy”! I’ve made this for breakfast a few times and I just throw in whatever vegetables I have on hand. Just make sure to use a high quality non-stick pan so you don’t end up with a clumpy mess lol!
This is great! It was a tad bit too salty for me so next time I’ll add a bit less, and I changed the vegetables to mushrooms and sliced zucchini. My mom wasn’t used to the chickpea flour taste but I actually quite like it. Thanks for the recipe!
Congratulations for your creativity! You are my favorite chef.
This was really good! The first time I’ve tried a chickpea omelette and will definitely be using this recipe. I left out the nutritional yeast because it hate it (don’t come at me lol) but overall was really good. I added mushrooms, spinach, red onions and vegan cheese 🙂
