Chickpea pancakes are awesome. They’ve been a staple breakfast here for a long time now – and we’ve experimented with all types of toppings. We decided it was time to share our favourites.
This is our original chickpea flour pancakes post. We love that recipe and we took things to another level.
Now we’re taking things to another nother level.
Our favourite new combo is caramelised onion with soft feta cheese. Be warned though – it’s addictive.
Since I first tried this ingredient mix I found myself making it day after day. Nipping out to the store to buy more chickpea flour when I had plenty of other flours still in the home.
It’s that tasty.
It’s simple as well.
Caramelised onion and chickpea pancakes
All we’re going to do is caramelise the onions very gently with a little oil and water. We’ll also add a tiny amount (because we’re not too naughty 😉 ) of sugar to speed up the caramelisation process.
The salty feta cheese offsets this completely and is the perfect pairing.
The chickpea pancakes themselves are easy to cook – we want them thin and just a little crispy.
Make sure to pour the batter widely over a large pan. If you only have a small pan then make more pancakes, not thicker.
Thicker pancakes will taste heavy, and that’s not at all what we’re looking for – light and slightly crispy is the name of the game!
On one further note, chickpea pancakes are naturally gluten-free .
