FAQs
1. Can I substitute chickpea flour with other types of flour?
Yes, but keep in mind that chickpea flour gives that authentic "egg" texture. Almond flour or oat flour could work, but the texture will change slightly.
2. Can I make these ahead of time?
Absolutely! Make a big batch and store them in the fridge or freezer for quick meals later.
3. What can I add for extra protein?
Consider adding some cooked quinoa or black beans into the mix for a protein boost!
