How to make chickpea flour:
Like most speciality flour, chickpea flour can be expensive when purchased in a grocery store. Luckily, it’s easy to make using an inexpensive bag of dry chickpeas!
- Start with dry chickpeas.
- Rinse the chickpeas thoroughly and remove any debris.
- Spread the chickpeas out on a clean towel or tray and allow them to air-dry completely. You want to make sure that they are completely dry before proceeding to the next step.
- Once the chickpeas are dry, add them to a high-speed blender or food processor. You may need to do this in batches if you have a small appliance.
- Pulse the chickpeas until they are ground into a fine powder. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender or food processor a few times to ensure that all of the chickpeas are ground evenly.
- Once the chickpeas are ground into a fine powder, sift the flour through a fine-mesh sieve. This will help remove any large pieces or lumps and ensure that your chickpea flour is smooth and fine.
- Store the chickpea flour in an airtight container in a cool, dry place until ready to use.
That’s it! Homemade chickpea flour can be used in a variety of recipes, or as a gluten-free alternative to wheat flour.
