INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

2. Add chickpea flour, water, and all spices to a large mixing bowl. Whisk until well combined and set aside for 15 minutes to allow chickpea flour to become more hydrated.

3. Add all vegetables and mix into batter until evenly coated.

4. Evenly coat the cavities of your muffin pan with a light layer of oil or vegan butter. Use a 1/2 cup to portion batter into muffin cavities. Depending on the size of your muffin tray you may have to make multiple batches. This recipe yields about 12 mini frittatas.

5. Place the muffin tray into the center rack of the oven and bake for about 25 minutes, until the surface of the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick or knife inserted into the middle of the muffin comes out clean. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes before serving with hash browns, more veggies, or you preferred vegan breakfast meat.

6. To store, allow to cool completely before placing in an air-tight container with a lid. Can be kept in the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for up to a month.
