Mini Chickpea Flour Fritatta Muffins

I want to start this off by telling you that I have been missing
certain breakfast foods. Most of the items I consume for breakfast are on the sweeter side, things like muffins or breads. I've been on the search for something savory that is also delicious and nutritious. 

discovered this recipe when I was looking for ideas of things to contribute to my Mom's Easter Brunch. Since we are all kind of stuck in our houses right now, I decided to try them at home first and see if they are any good. They are seriously my new favorite thing! Like not just for breakfast, but in general. 

As you know, I'm really into sauces. We had a leftover sauce I had made for another dish. It was supposed to be kind of a blue cheese sauce, but it doesn't taste like it. It tasted more like a cheesey sauce. These tasted amazing alone, but even more amazing with this cheesey sauce, so I will share the link to both recipes at the bottom of the blog as usual. 

These are full of veggies and they bake perfectly. You will find that the batter seems runny, but don't fret, because they will still turn out lovely. You have to make sure that when you transfer these to the muffin tin that you have an even amount of the veggies and the batter in each cup. The veggies called for are corn, kale, peppers, and shallots, but you could use any veggies you want or have on hand.

When my hubby the taste tester tried these, he said they were delicious, but he thought they could use more salt and something to make them spicy. Since I can't handle any spice, I did tell him he'd have to add his own at the end. I did, however, make these again and added a bit more salt. I didn't think it really changed the flavor much. 



Note: Kala Namak, or black salt, is part of this recipe, this is what gives it an eggy flavor. I am not sure where in a grocery store you would look for this, but if it were to be found locally, it would probably be near the Indian foods as Kala Namak, or black salt is from India. I ordered mine on amazon and I've been loving making eggy dishes ever since!

Thai Peanut Ramen

This was so yummy!!! I made my own curry past with thai basil leaves, water, curry leaves and a little yellow curry powder. It wasn't the exact same as a curry paste, but it was delicious anyways! 

I also left out all oils as I don't personally consume oils. But, this recipe did not require it at all. I used vegetable broth to saute the vegetables. As a mostly gluten free Vegan it's hard to find vegan and gluten free ramen noodles, but Cost co carries a great brand that is organic, gluten free, and vegan so we use that. When making this recipe, I also left out all the spicy stuff, but if you can handle spice! Leave it in! Thai based things are usually spicy! 

If you love ramen, I highly recommend trying out this recipe. It's delicious and filling and comforting.

Chickpea Flour Mini Frittatas

This is the first recipe I've been really excited about sharing lately. My energy levels have been low and the past few days, I've been struggling mentally. Today I woke up and decided to try making these and they are absolutely delicious! They taste like cheesey eggs with savory veggies. 

On first taste, my husband suggested adding some sort of spice, which I won't do because I can't handle spice, but I told him he was welcome to add hot sauce on the top if he wants. He also said he wished it was a bit more cheesey. Personally, I thought these tasted great without anything else added. My husband also thought they could be a little more salty. So, I might add a bit more salt next. 

After he taste tested for me, I decided to try dipping mine in a vegan blue cheese dressing I made the other day, and I'd say that added a bit more of the cheesey taste he was looking for. Other than that, I'd say, if you want it to be spicier, add in some hot sauce, or sprinkle some on top. 

If you have access to chickpea flour, you could really use any veggies you wanted. These called for kale, corn, red pepper, and shallots. I thought that worked out as a good combo, but you could use whatever you have. 

I highly recommend this recipe. I may have added more veggies than called for. 

Make sure you have enough batter to veggie ration in each muffin cup.
