Chickpea Flour Scramble

Use this savory, fluffy scramble wherever you would use scrambled eggs: with your oatmeal, next to pancakes, or in a burrito or sandwich. With no cholesterol and a lot of protein, folate, and fiber, they're a great way to keep your diet on track too.

Chickpea Flour Scramble will help you through busy times or shortages. Forgot to soak or cook beans? Make a scramble. Make a big batch and reheat through the week. Unlike eggs, a bag of chickpea flour can be dropped without damage, kept unrefrigerated, and lasts for years. Keep a bag of chickpea flour on hand for when you want a more exotic taste for breakfast, as part of your emergency preparation store, or just in case you run out of eggs.

It's easy enough to be a good introduction to vegan baking.
