How To Make Chickpea Flour

Chickpea flour (also commonly known as garbanzo bean flour) is flour made from ground-up chickpeas. This alternative to all-purpose flour or wheat flour skips the highly processed compounds found in store-bought chickpea flour and is a great source of fiber and protein. Homemade chickpea flour is a STAPLE for a gluten-free diet.

Ingredients

1 lb dried chickpeas/garbanzo beans

Instructions

Add the dried chickpeas into a food processor and turn the speed to high. Grind the chickpeas until they break down and form a flour.
Pass the chickpea flour through a sieve, catching all of the large chickpea pieces. Add the larger chickpea pieces back into the food processor and process again until the entire batch of chickpeas has formed a flour and can easily pass through the sieve. You can repeat this process as necessary.
Use in your desired recipe!

Notes

Depending on the speed of your food processor, you may want to finish the final, small portion of the chickpea flour in a spice grinder, using small batches.
If your food processor is too large or not fast enough, the remaining ½ cup of chickpeas can be hard to break down. A spice grinder/coffee grinder is a good solution for this.
