If you’re looking for a delicious, high-protein bread substitute that’s easy to make and

works with just about any meal, this chickpea flatbread recipe is a game-changer. It’s one of my favorites because it’s so versatile, stores beautifully, and, most importantly, it’s truly yummy!


Here’s the base recipe:

  • Batter Ingredients:

    • 1.5 cups chickpea flour

    • 1/2 teaspoon salt

    • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

    • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric (optional but adds a golden hue and extra flavor)

    • 1.5 cups water

    • Oil spray for cooking


How to Make It

  1. Mix it up: Whisk the chickpea flour, spices, and water until smooth. Want to customize? Add herbs like rosemary or thyme for a savory twist or a pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg for a sweet, breakfast version.

  2. Cook: Heat a griddle or non-stick pan to medium-high. Spray with oil, then pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each flatbread. Wait for bubbles to form (just like pancakes!) before flipping. Cook until golden on both sides.

  3. Store or serve: These flatbreads keep well in the fridge. Layer them between paper towels or parchment paper, and when you’re ready to eat, toast them lightly to bring back their crispiness.


Why You’ll Love These Flatbreads

  • Protein-packed: Chickpea flour is naturally high in protein, making these a filling and nutritious addition to any meal.

  • Versatile: Use them as wraps for lunch, a base for mini pizzas, or even drizzle with honey or jam for a sweet treat.

  • Simple and quick: Just a handful of pantry ingredients, a quick mix, and you’re good to go!


Whether you’re looking to swap out bread, boost your protein intake, or try something new, these chickpea flatbreads are the perfect recipe to have in your back pocket. Give them a try—you might find yourself making a batch every week! 🌟
