Ingredients

• 1 cup chickpea flour (gram flour)
• 3 cups unsweetened non-dairy milk
• 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon black salt (kala namak)
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 cup water
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup vegetable filling (e.g., spinach, tomatoes, mushrooms, bell peppers)
• 0.5 cup vegan cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, non-dairy milk, nutritional yeast, turmeric powder, baking powder, black salt, onion powder, and garlic powder until smooth. The batter should have a pancake batter-like consistency. Add up to 1/2 cup of water if it is too thick.

Step 2

Prepare your vegetable filling by chopping your chosen vegetables into small, bite-sized pieces. If using vegan cheese, shred or crumble as needed.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the vegetables and sauté for 3-5 minutes until they soften. Remove and set aside.

Step 4

Wipe the skillet clean. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-low heat.

Step 5

Pour half of the chickpea batter into the skillet, spreading it evenly into a circular shape, like a pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form and the edges appear set.

Step 6

Carefully flip the omelet using a spatula and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 7

Add half of the sautéed vegetables and vegan cheese (optional) to one side of the omelet. Fold the other side over the filling to create a semi-circle shape. Cook for 1-2 more minutes to warm the filling.

Step 8

Transfer the cooked omelet to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter and filling.

Step 9

Serve hot with your favorite toppings or sides, such as avocado slices, salsa, or a fresh green salad.
