If you buy dried chickpeas and blend them up in a strong blender and sift and blend.... that is all that you need to do and it really makes a difference in flavor IMO. A lot of people will sprout their chickpeas then re-dry them in a dehydrator to then blend into flour. It is supposed to be more nutritious and extra healthy.  I have not tried sprouting then drying (a little lazy...) but grinding from dry is the way I do it.","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Monia","url":""}},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https:\/\/www.mynaturalfamily.com\/garbanzo-bean-flour-recipes\/#Comment4","dateCreated":"2017-03-22 03:49:47","description":"You're welcome - and I hope I can bring you lots of traffic.","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Rebecca","url":"https:\/\/mynaturalfamily.com\/"}},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https:\/\/www.mynaturalfamily.com\/garbanzo-bean-flour-recipes\/#Comment5","dateCreated":"2017-01-11 14:14:51","description":"Excellent list of recipes that use chickpea flour!

Recipe ListPancakes - My Natural FamilyEgg - Banana - Honey - BerriesThis is my own personal recipe I totally made up so I'm just a bit biased toward it but I love it. It's super easy to literally whip up in minutes with a fork in a bowl, they have a wonderful consistency and they are very filling. Now I can't eat \"regular\" pancakes since I'm used to these!Cheddar Biscuits - Chameleon KitchenButter - Cheddar Cheese - Sour CreamThis is for a simple batch of cheddar biscuits. When I found this recipe I chose to include it because before I ever had to limit my diet I LOVED going to the restaurant Red Lobster and one of the best parts was always getting their cheddar biscuits. They are to die for, so good!Mini Loaves for Breakfast - The Scratch ArtistFlax Seed Meal - Real Salt - Eggs - Fresh Rosemary - Olive OilThis is for mini savory loaves of bread which include recipes for 3 different flavor variations which are: Sun-dried tomato, parmesan, and basil loaf - Spinach, feta cheese and tomato loaf - mushroom, sage and onion loaf.

It just didn't seem like healthy and cookies could be in the same sentence. Now that I spend a LOT of time looking at different recipes I can say there are definitely some recipes that are healthier than \"normal\" cookies and have foods that are in fact good for you.These cookies are no exception. They are gluten-free, vegan, and are packed with protein. These are for sure a good option when looking for a better alternative to the traditional recipe.Broccoli Fritters - Healthier StepsBroccoli - Onion - Cilantro - Garlic - Flax Seed Meal - Cumin - Coconut Oil - Real SaltThis is a good twist on fritters using broccoli and chickpea flour as the main ingredients.
