Sounds DELICIOUS. Do you have a recipe for this, or can you tell me the quantities of chickpea flour etc. that go into it?

OMG the dreaded protein question! Seriously, don’t they get tired of asking me where I get my protein?!? Clearly, I get plenty because I haven’t keeled over in the past 3 years I have been vegetarian, and 90% of the time it’s dairy free too…-___-

BTW, this looks delicious! But I’m going through a serious overnight oatmeal phase. Alt milk & yogurt & oats & chia & goji berries & ripe bananas & blackstrap molasses topped with some peanut butter in the morning…maybe one day I’ll get sick of it, but I don’t think it will be any day soon.

It’s so awesome to have you back stirring things up in the vegan blogosphere! <3

Yes! I call mine besan chilla, but it is the same thing. Definitely delicious. :)

That looks delicious. I have made socca with chickpea flour and LOVE it. I will have to try Kittee’s recipe (I am sure it will be delicious no matter what it ends up looking like).

I will be sure to cook it all the way through because I don’t want to eat raw chickpea flour (which Kittee describes as worse than dirty toenails…that is just a nasty description).

Looking forward to you posting more food items. Those types of posts always push me to try new things and find healthier ways to nourish my body.

I am 100% going to make these this weekend. I’m currently training for a race (my first as a vegan) and I have been CRAVING protein like whoa! This will be perfect. Also, so glad you are blogging again! I found you literally a week after your hiatus began. Congrats on taking control of your own life and generally being back in business. :)

Kittee’s the best, isn’t she? I’ve been making these since you directed me to her recipe a few months ago. For some reason I like these much more than socca (or anything else that has besan in it, for that matter).

Also, thank you for including “protein-powder free” in the title! Any time I see a recipe touted as high protein, I skip it because 90% of the time it contains protein powder, something I only use during summer endurance training.

wow, looks awesome! thanks for posting!

a question – i see that you purchased your garbanzo flour. i have been making my rice and bean flours with my blender. is there something special about bob’s flour, or do you think i could just grind up the beans myself for this application?

thanks in advance, can’t wait to give it a try!

Yum! I didn’t know these were a thing. We call them chickpea fritters. And Pudla is a made up word my mum uses to describe a pudgy belly [like "look at the baby's little pudla!"], which kind of makes it really cute.
I’m sure all the foodies are totally going to want to culinarily slap me in the face, but I totally sometimes put chickpeas in brekkie smoothies – EVEN SWEET ONES :O
See, they’re kinda flavour neutral (like bread) but they can bulk stuff up (like bread), so like a 1/4 cup in blender of a yogurt and berry smoothie goes unnoticed but makes it more filling – assuming they’re not super brine-y*, they’re fine in sweet stuff. I very rarely feel like actual food in the morning, so I usually go for smoothies or something very light, like yoghurt or hummus with celery or fruit. Lately it’s been hot as hell and the tomatoes are in season, so I’ve been making Gazpacho but with chickpeas instead of bread.

*There’s nothing wrong with canned ones, but they’re usually pretty salty. Because I use them so much – they’re cheap, yummy and GF for my boyfriend – I keep sprouted ones or cook them in big batches and keep them in the fridge in very lightly salted water in a sealed container and use them within 4 days – whole in whatever’s for dinner, in hummus, roasted with spices, in salads for lunch etc.

Oh, super yummo!!!! I’ll have to make these!!!

Ooh grilled asparagus sounds amazing. Avocado is delightful, and salsa would be great. For more traditional you could do an alt yogurt and/or chutney. Mmm now I’m hungry!

Nope, if you prefer to do it in your blender then go for it! I don’t have the dry blade for my Vita Mix so I haven’t tried it yet. =)

I totally know what you mean – I eat protein powder too, but every time I see a recipe that’s all “High Protein X” and then it’s just normal X with a scoop of protein powder, I give a little side eye. I am TOTALLY guilty of creating those recipes as well though, so you know, not above hypocrisy. ;-)

Let me know what you think Rachel!

It is a nasty description but it’s amazingly accurate, haha. Cook fully!

Thanks lady, it’s great to be back!

Thanks for this. I am in need of high protein/soy free stuff. Going to try it tomorrow morning!

YAY! So glad you liked it, and SO AWESOME that you included a pic. Love it!

AMAZING! I’ve been trying to find a simple vegan breakfast that I can make for my man and I! This is seriously perfect. Thank you!! :)

Don’t worry, even though my goal is “a pudla a day”, this will be the last pudla pic. I will be sharing. xo

Beautiful! And a pudla a day – love it!

This looks magical! I too struggle with finding new protein-packed, gluten-free vegan breakfast options. Can’t wait to try this :)

I will now also input that this is a daily meal for me. So very excited, with endless possible veggie combos! Thanks again Sayward [via kittee].
