How to make a chickpea omelette

Create the batter

Mix all ingredients for the chickpea omelet in a medium-sized bowl. Start with the dry ingredients, combine with a spoon, then add the water.

Whisk until there are no lumps left, then set aside.

Sauté the veggies

Place a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a splash of water, veggie stock or cooking oil. Sautée garlic and mushrooms for about 2 minutes, then add the bell pepper.

Cook until these have softened, stirring occasionally. Finally, add the chopped tomatoes and green onions and mix everything together.

Transfer your sautéed vegetables to a plate and set them aside.

Make the omelette

Pour your chickpea batter into the empty pan and spread it evenly like you would a large pancake. Let it cook over medium heat for around 5 minutes until the edges become firm.

Flip it with a spatula and cook it on the other side for 3-4 more minutes. Then, place your sautéed veggies onto your omelette and cover the pan with a lid.

Cook until there is no wet batter left in the center, then remove your stuffed omelette from the pan.
Fold it in the middle and serve with delicious toppings such as fresh herbs, avocado or soy yogurt!

More adjustments

Depending on the consistency you’re looking for, you can thin out the batter by adding some aquafaba or more water.

If you follow our exact recipe, you’ll get a thicker, more pancake-like vegan omelette — which is how we personally love it.

Don’t taste the raw batter to adjust to your preferences, as uncooked chickpea flour can give you bloating and tastes awful!
