The combination of gluten free chickpea flour, along with fresh ground peanut butter and sweetened with pure maple syrup and a banana is one of my favorite breakfast.

It is indeed a dream to eat a warm breakfast on a weekday especially if it is a Monday! Aha! I guess no Monday blues then? What do you say???

Anyway, I love some sweet yet healthy and protein rich warm breakfast. To top it all pancakes are the most desirable option for my breakfast/brunch meal.

Since I am on a high protein diet I wanted to add protein in my regular pancakes. Also, I wanted to try gluten free pancakes that’s not made of any nut flour. Basically, my taste buds were looking for a big change and a variety.

In India chickpea flour (besan) is quite a common flour that is very high in protein and yet gluten free. My mother makes lot of sweet and savory dishes with it. Also, whenever we try to follow healthy diet chickpea flour (besan) is our first option.

Therefore, I decided to try chickpea flour for my sweet pancakes. I must say these pancakes turned out to be my very best creation.

These Protein Pancakes are moist, soft and fluffy. These pancakes are very easy to make. Even though the ingredients are all gluten free they bind pretty well. I was amazed at how nicely these pancakes rise when I spread the batter in the crepe pan.

    These look delicious! Your photos are beautiful. I’m in the USA and have been playing with chickpea flour for a while. Just made myself some edible but not wonderful chickpea pancakes (made up the recipe myself) but yours look so much better! Definitely going to try them next time.

    I love sneaking healthy ingredients into comfort foods like pancakes. It means you don’t have to deprive yourself, and you can still get in key nutrients wherever possible.

    I’ve been looking at a lot of chic pea recipes lately.. I bought some gluten free pancakes the other day, but the ingredients had some canola oil and potato flour…so not exactly what I would want it to be made from. This looks easy and clean. Thank you!

      Hi Jamie, you can easily find them in any grocery store in the health food section. However, they are loaded in Indian stores if you have any within your reach.
