This Easy Healthy Vegan Omelette is gluten-free, tastes amazing, and can be filled with anything you like!
I loaded mine with veggies and spread some of my 5-Ingredient Vegan Garlic & Herb Ricotta cheese, and the whole thing was a bomb!
Will you believe me if I tell you that this vegan omelette is made out of chickpeas? Yep! Ever heard of garbanzo flour (aka gram flour, chickpea flour?) That stuff is incredible, and really high on protein and fiber.
This recipe is quite adjustable, you can basically add any desired veggies you like to stuff your omelette. Or maybe you don’t want any veggies? Add some seitan or deli vegan ham for extra protein. Really, the options are endless.
I personally used sriracha sauce on top, but I can imagine ketchup would be great, or leave the sauces out. Up to you!
How To Make a Vegan Omelette:
This chickpea flour omelette comes together super easily!
First, you make the batter which involves, like I said, chickpea flour and black salt, among a few other pantry staples. Mix it up and let it sit for a few minutes to settle. Then the batter is cooked, just like you would a pancake.
The veggies get cooked up in just a bit of garlic and oil. I like to keep them crunchy side.
Finally, plate the omelette and stuff it with the veggies, and vegan cream cheese if you like.
