I’m loving this week so far! And let me tell you that I can't wait for this upcoming weekend to begin. Weekends are the most precious days of the week, right?... For us mean means to slow down and do things one step at a time. Waking up late and having a nice late breakfast in our pajamas. We enjoy making pancakes or crepes, sometimes sweet other times savory. It all depends on of what we are craving at the moment.
The batter doesn’t need to settle in the fridge. You can, but there’s no need for that. So you can easily skip that step on how to make chickpea crepes and just mix ingredients and start making your crepes. Yes, it’s that easy, my friends. And in this recipe, you don’t need to use eggs either, yup, this recipe is completely egg-free.
Trust me simple + wholesome ingredients can make a huge difference to feel nourished inside and out!
Simple Ingredients with a 'kick', full of rich nutrients that can be also be delicious. Like these Chickpea Crepes! Protein rich, fibre, iron, potassium…just to name a few amazing properties of chickpeas. Plus completely gluten-free and a great substitute for all-purpose flour and wheat flour. We love preparing these on weekends with sauteed tomatoes, vegetables and adding natural or Greek yogurt, ricotta or pesto.
