Ingredients

• 2 cups Garbanzo bean (chickpea) flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Optional: Sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or herbs for topping

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a standard loaf pan with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the garbanzo bean flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk well to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, almond milk, eggs, and apple cider vinegar until smooth and fully combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be smooth but thick.

Step 5

Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or dried herbs on top for extra flavor and texture.

Step 6

Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 8

Serve the garbanzo bread as is, or use it as a base for sandwiches, toast, or dipping. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
