Vegan - Pancake - Jumbo chickpea

By BlueSchmoo

Ingredients

• 1 green onion, finely chopped (about 1/4 cup)
• 1/4 cup finely chopped red pepper
• 1/2 cup chickpea flour (also known as garbanzo flour or besan)
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon fine grain sea salt
• 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• pinch red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons water
• For serving: salsa, avocado, hummus, cashew cream (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Prepare the vegetables and set aside. Preheat a 10-inch skillet over medium heat.
In a small bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, garlic powder, salt, pepper, baking powder, and optional red pepper flakes.
Add the water and whisk well until no clumps remain. I like to whisk it for a good 15 seconds to create lots of air bubbles in the batter.
Stir in the chopped vegetables.
When the skillet is pre-heated (a drop of water should sizzle on the pan), spray it liberally with olive oil or other non stick cooking spray.
Pour on all of the batter (if making 1 large pancake) and quickly spread it out all over the pan. Cook for about 5-6 minutes on one side (timing will depend on how hot your pan is), until you can easily slide a pancake flipper/spatula under the pancake and it's firm enough not to break when flipping. Flip pancake carefully and cook for another 5 minutes, until lightly golden. Be sure to cook for enough time as this pancake takes much longer to cook compared to regular pancakes.
Serve on a large plate and top with your desired toppings. Leftovers can be wrapped up and placed in the fridge. Reheat on a skillet until warmed throughout.

Notes: 1) For the cashew cream, see this recipe http://www.keyingredient.com/recipes/600602449/reboot-condiment-cashew-cream-savory-or-sweet/. you can addd red pepper flakes into the blender to make it spicy. 2) You can make this recipe into 2 smaller pancakes if desired.
