Cupcake Frittatas

By GuidingVegan

These are too yummy not to enjoy on the regular. So, what exactly is in these? Chickpea flour is made from ground up dried chickpeas – garbanzo beans to some of you – meaning it has all of the nutritional benefits of chickpeas, specifically that it’s high in protein and fiber.

Ingredients

• 3 cups assorted chopped veggies (garlic, bell pepper, black beans, corn, spinach)
• 1/2 cup green onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons veggie broth, plus oil for brushing muffin tins
• 2 1/2 cups chickpea (garbanzo bean) flour
• 2 3/4 cups water
• 1/4 -1/2 cup nutritional yeast
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika
• 1 heaping teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F. Combine chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, spices, baking powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl with 2 3/4 cups water. Whisk to combine and set aside while preparing the veggies.

Heat broth over medium-high heat in a skillet. Add all veggies to skillet (except for green onions) and cook until veggies cook down about 5 minutes. Add green onions to skillet and cook 2 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper and some extra spices if desired to taste and remove from heat.

Brush a standard sized muffin tin and one smaller, 6 muffin tin with olive oil.** Divide veggie mixture between muffin cups by the heaping tablespoon. Divide any remaining veggies between cups. Using a 1/4 cup measure, fill cups with chickpea batter. Use a spoon to gently stir each cup to ensure the batter gets under the veggies.

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean and frittatas are beginning to brown on top. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes (this allows the batter to set) before removing from tin and cooling on a rack. Depending on your muffin tin, you may have to use a knife or offset spatula to gently loosen sides of frittatas before removing from tin.

Serve warm or allow to cool completely before storing in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Frittatas can be reheated in the microwave but are best when warmed in the oven or toaster oven at 400°F for 10 minutes.
