Bask in the simplicity and deliciousness of my game-changing easy chickpea flatbread. With only three ingredients, this versatile and healthy flatbread is elegantly simple. Eat it as a healthy snack, dunk it in your favourite dip, or serve it as a side for soups, curries, and stews. There are plenty of ways to customise it to suit your taste buds.

Chickpea Flatbread Is a Healthy Alternative to Bread

Chickpea flatbread is incredibly easy to make and comes with numerous health benefits. Not only is chickpea flour (sometimes called gram flour, chana flour, or garbanzo bean flour) high in protein and fibre, but it also helps keep you full and satisfied. Additionally, it’s a great source of vitamins and minerals, including iron, magnesium, and B vitamins, making it a good addition to a healthy overall dietary pattern.

Replacing bread with this chickpea flatbread offers significant health advantages. Regular bread is often made from refined flour that has been stripped of nutrients and can be high in calories. In contrast, this flatbread is made from chickpea flour, a nutrient-dense alternative. It also has a lower glycaemic index (GI), which helps regulate blood sugar levels.

Chickpea Flatbread Is Naturally Gluten-Free

Moreover, chickpea flatbread is naturally gluten-free and vegan, making it an excellent option for those with dietary restrictions or anyone interested in adding more plant-based foods to their diet. If you are sensitive to gluten or have coeliac disease, switching to chickpea flatbread means you can enjoy a delicious, healthier option that supports better overall health.

This is also an oil-free recipe since there’s no need to oil the pan before cooking. Just be sure you have a non-stick frying pan or skillet and that the heat is not too high to burn the bottom side before it’s ready to flip.

Some Topping Ideas for Your Chickpea Flatbread Recipe

One of the best things about this three-ingredient chickpea flatbread recipe is its versatility. You can eat it with a variety of toppings and accompaniments. For a light lunch or a fresh snack, I like to top it with:

  • mashed avocado
  • cherry tomatoes
  • black olives
  • a sprinkle of black pepper
  • a dash of dried oregano.

This combination not only tastes amazing but also adds a boost of healthy fats, vitamins, and antioxidants.

Another classic topping idea is to spread a layer of hummus over the flatbread and accompany it with roasted vegetables such as bell peppers, courgettes, and aubergine. This easy three-ingredient chickpea flatbread recipe is so versatile that it can be served in numerous ways. Pair it with a delicious dip like hummus, tzatziki, or baba ganoush for a delightful appetiser or snack. It also makes a great accompaniment to soups, stews, and other hot dishes. Try serving it alongside a hearty lentil curry soup or a warming vegetable stew for a complete and nourishing meal.

Just 3 Ingredients in This Easy Flatbread Recipe

To make this simple yet delicious flatbread, you’ll need just three main ingredients: chickpea flour, water, and salt. That’s it, you don’t need anything else. If you like, you can mix it up by adding herbs and spices too, for various flavour profiles. If using herbs and spices, mix them into the flour before adding the water.
