Description

Say hello to your new favorite classic brunch recipe: this ridiculously easy vegan omelette! The chickpea flour omelette batter comes together in a blender in less than 5 minutes, and they only take a few minutes to cook for a quick, customizable, egg-free breakfast.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup chickpea flour (garbanzo bean flour)
  • 1 1/4 cup oat milk (or other nondairy milk)
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/8-1/4 tsp turmeric

Fillings:

  • 2 tbsp vegan butter
  • 1 cup thinly sliced mushrooms (we used shiitake)
  • 1 cup spinach or kale, chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Vegan parmesan or mozzarella
  • Avocado

Instructions

  1. Add all omelette ingredients to a blender and blend until completely smooth.
  2. To make filling, add butter to a sauté pan over medium heat. Add mushrooms and increase heat to medium high, stirring frequently. Once the mushrooms have cooked down, reduce heat to medium and add spinach and parsley. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat a separate 8" nonstick pan to medium. Once hot, add just enough omelette batter to cover the pan in a thin, even layer. Cook for 4-5 minutes, until the top of the omelette looks mostly dry. You can use a spatula to take a peek at the bottom of the omelette – it's ready when it's slightly golden brown (see photos for visual guide).
  4. Add toppings to the omelette, top with cheese, avocado, etc, fold and transfer to a plate using a flexible spatula. Enjoy hot!

Notes

Depending on the thickness of the omelette/how long it's cooked for, it may crack when folded. To avoid this, we recommend using a very thin layer of batter and letting it cook until the bottom is golden brown.
