Kikkererwtenkoekjes
Ingrediënten
- 1 blikje Kikkererwten - inhoud van 1 425g/15-oz can drained, mashed (note 3)
- 1 cup Zuivelvrije yoghurt - (notitie 2)
- ⅓ cup Olijfolie - (notitie 4)
- 1 eetlepel Tomatenpuree - (notitie 5)
- ½ cup Zongedroogde tomaten - not stored in oil, finely chopped (note 6)
- 1 cup Spinazie - fijngehakt (noot 7)
- 6-8 Verse basilicumblaadjes - (notitie 8)
- 2 ¼ cups Zelfrijzend bakmeel - (note 1) +1/4 cup to work the dough if needed
- ¼ theelepel Zout
Spices (note 9)
- 1 theelepel Oregano
- 1 theelepel Uien poeder
- ¼ theelepel Komijn
- ¼ theelepel Knoflook poeder
Instructies
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly oil the paper with olive oil. Set aside.
- Verwarm de oven voor op 400 ° F (200 ° C).
- In a large mixing bowl, add drained chickpeas. Use a potato masher to mash as much as you can, all chickpeas into tiny pieces. The outer skin of the chickpeas will burst out. Keep everything; if a few chickpeas are not mashed, it's fine.
- Add yogurt, olive oil, all spices, salt, finely chopped spinach, tomato paste, basil, and sundried tomatoes.
- Stir in the self-rising flour, and stir with a rubber spatula until it forms a sticky dough, then lightly oil your hands and knead, squeezing until everything comes together. It will be very sticky and should stay moist. If it's really too wet, add a little more flour (up to 1/4 cup), but keep in mind that the dough should stay a bit moist or the biscuits won't be flaky and moist.
- Rub flour on your hands to remove the dough sticking to your fingers. Then, wash, dry your hands, and rub them with olive oil. Rub the dough with oil too, so it gets less sticky.
- Divide into 6 even portions by hand and place each piece on the prepared baking sheet. Rub each piece with a little olive oil so the outside is crisp in the oven.
- Bake the biscuits for 30-35 minutes at 400°F (200°C) until golden brown.
- Laat ze een paar minuten afkoelen voordat je ze serveert.

Ingrediënten en vervangingen
Voor dit recept heb je maar een paar simpele ingrediënten nodig. Hier lees je hoe je ze kunt kiezen en vervangen.

- Kikkererwten – These form the hearty base of the recipe, adding bulk, protein, and fiber. Canned white beans, like cannellini or navy beans, work just as well if you want a milder flavor.
- Zuivelvrije yoghurt – This provides the moisture and acidity needed to react with the self-rising flour for a fluffy texture. Soy yogurt, coconut yogurt, or oat yogurt are all excellent choices.
- Olijfolie – This adds richness to the crumb and helps crisp up the outside of the biscuits. Avocado oil or melted plant-based butter act as perfect substitutes.
- Tomatenpuree – This adds savory flavors and a nice color to the dough. You can skip this if you don’t have it on hand.
- Zongedroogde tomaten – These bring a chewy texture and intense tomato flavor. Roasted red peppers work too, just make sure to pat them very dry first.
- Spinazie – This adds color and nutrition to the biscuits. Finely chopped kale is a great sturdy alternative.
- Verse basilicumblaadjes – These bring a pop of fresh, herbal flavor. Fresh parsley or cilantro also work nicely.
- Zelfrijzend bakmeel – This creates the structure and lift without the need for yeast or extra leavening agents. You can make your own by mixing all-purpose flour with baking powder.
- Spices (Oregano, Onion, Cumin, Garlic) – These create the savory Mediterranean flavor profile. You can adjust the quantities or swap them for an Italian herb blend.

Carine's baktips
Let me share a few more tips for a perfect biscuit.
- Handle the Sticky Dough – The dough is meant to be very sticky, so try not to add more than 1/4 cup of extra flour, or the biscuits will turn out dry. I prefer oiling my hands and the outside of the dough ball to make it manageable rather than drying it out with more flour.
- Don’t Skip the Fat – Do not try to swap the oil for a mashed veggie puree (like pumpkin or applesauce) to save calories. The fat is essential here; without it, the texture becomes gummy and too moist.
- Veggie Moisture Control – You can easily swap the veggies for grated carrots, peppers, or zucchini. However, if you use zucchini, make sure to squeeze it in a clean kitchen towel to remove excess water before adding it, or the dough will be too wet.
- Serveerideeën – These are great on their own, but I love serving them with mashed avocado or a side of hummus for an extra protein boost.







Is it possible to make these oil free or with less oil? My husband has CAD and has to watch processed oil intake. Thank you!
It should work with dairy-free yogurt instead of oil, but expect a very different texture, much more moist and less firm. You can also try sweet potato puree instead, they will be tasty.
Dank je.
Graag gedaan.
Great healthy alternative to cheese scones which I love. I did add few tablespoons of nutritional yeast. Will definitely make again. Used oiled 1/3 cup to measure out generous scoops and reduce dough handling.
Thanks for this beautiful feedback!
can I use purslain ( postelein in Dutch) it grows in my garden? love your content!
I am so sorry I can’t help you more, but I am unsure what Purslain is, and how to bake with it.
can you also make this with oat flour?
No, it will be a rock, dense and not fluffy.
