Start the day with this high protein, vegetable packed vegan frittata! An easy make ahead breakfast option made with chickpea flour, veggies of choice and herbs. Completely eggless, gluten free + dairy free.

Frittatas are one of my go-to easy meals and I love experimenting with different ingredient and flavour combinations. This healthy and filling vegan frittata is super simple to cook and a great alternative for those who cannot eat eggs. It’s made from chickpea flour, and vegetables and no tofu! The batter is very versatile and works well with any vegetables or greens.

While I love serving this chickpea flour frittata with sautéed vegetables and avocado, you can easily eat it plain too! I usually make this recipe in my mini loaf pan for convenience although you can use a regular baking pan or regular muffin tin if you prefer.

Why you’ll love this vegan frittata recipe:

  • Its gluten free and grain free
  • Eggless 
  • Dairy free
  • Low fat
  • High fibre and protein

Ingredient’s you’ll need:

In this recipe, a batter is made with chickpea flour, an assortment of vegetables, and herbs then baked until tender, creating a delicious vegan frittata that’s perfect any time of day. Here’s what you will need:

  • Chickpea flour: also called besan flour. When this flour is hydrated and cooked, it has a similar taste to eggs.
  • Non dairy milk
  • Vegetables of choice: use 2 cups of any veggies that you like chopped up small. Some ideas include capsicums (bel peppers), mushrooms, broccoli, zucchini, peas and corn.
  • Baby spinach leaves
  • Dried oregano: basil or thyme would be great too!
  • Garlic powder
  • Salt + pepper
  • Nutritional yeast: optional but adds a delicious cheesy flavour

Benefits of chickpea flour in these mini vegan frittatas

If you haven’t used chickpea flour before, I want to encourage you to! It’s naturally gluten free, inexpensive and has a slightly nutty flavour which I really love. When hydrated and cooked, chickpea flour has a taste and texture very similar to eggs- which is perfect in this vegan frittata recipe. The protein binds together when cooked and provides moisture, lift, and structure like real eggs do in baked goods.

How to serve frittata

This chickpea flour frittata can be enjoyed on it’s own, or it can be paired with a side of fibre-rich carbohydrates to balance out the meal. Some of my favourite sides are sautéed vegetables, avocado, roasted potatoes or toast.

Frittata serve on plate with greens, grilled vegetables and avocado. Gold fork on the side.

Storing leftovers 

This chickpea flour frittata is great to have on hand for busy mornings!

  • Refrigerate: these chickpea flour frittata muffins will keep in the fridge for up to 5-7 days.
  • Freeze: They will keep well in freezer-safe containers or zip lock bags in the freezer for up to 2 – 3 months. Let thaw before reheating. You can easily reheat the frittata in the toaster oven or microwave.
