Chickpea & veggie omelette cups

Including veggies in my breakfast is something I like to do several times a week and these chickpea & veggie omelette cups make it super easy. These are so delicious I actually prefer them over the traditional egg version.

Why should I eat chickpea flour?

Also known as besan or gram flour, chickpea flour is naturally gluten free, contains 20 grams of plant protein and 10 grams of fiber per cup! In addition, this flour contains iron, magnesium, copper, manganese and antioxidants.

What a great way to start the day filling your body with fuel rather than foods that will weigh you down and make you feel sluggish.

In this recipe I use fresh spinach, red bell pepper, baby bella mushrooms, white onion and fresh cilantro, but you can use whatever veggie combo you prefer.  The amount of veggies should measure 1 1/3 cups. Nutritional yeast is also added to enhance the taste with its cheesy/nutty flavor.
