    Ingredients 

    US Customary - Metric

    For the chickpea scramble:

    • 15 ounces canned or cooked chickpeas, drained and rinsed
    • 2 tablespoon lemon juice
    • 2 tablespoon nutritional yeast
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    • ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
    • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
    • ¼ teaspoon sea or kala namak salt
    • 6 tablespoon hummus

    For serving (optional):

    • Sautéed mushrooms
    • Bread, gluten-free if needed
    • Avocado
    • Cherry tomatoes
    Prevent your screen from going dark

    Instructions

    • Add the chickpeas and the lemon juice to a mixing bowl and mash them with a fork.
    • Add the spices and the hummus and mash again until well combined.
    • Cook the chickpea scramble in a frying pan over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes or until golden brown, stirring occasionally. We didn't add oil or any liquid.
    • Serve with your favorite ingredients. We served our scramble with some sautéed mushrooms (we cooked them in a frying pan until golden brown with no oil), bread, avocado and cherry tomatoes.
    • Keep the chickpea scramble in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

    Notes

    • We prefer to use kala namak salt because it makes this recipe tastes like a real egg scramble, but any type of salt is okay.
    • Add your favorite spices or herbs to the scramble and serve with your favorite ingredients.
    • Hummus makes the scramble more fluffy and less dry, but feel free to use other dips like baba ghanoush or even tahini (we would add less tahini and some water instead).
    • Recipe inspired by Minimalist Baker.

      Great recipe! Craving tofu scramble this morning but I didn't have any tofu so I quickly looked online for a chickpea omelet & I came across your recipe & said to myself, I have all these ingredients except hummus. So, I whipped this up using my mock tuna salad & it came out pretty darn good. I've never made this before & I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out. It had the consistency of mashed potatoes but it tasted delicious! I'll be keeping this recipe. Thanks!!

      We didn't have hummus on hand so I mashed up avocado with it instead. It was still delicious!

      Great alternative to eggs. Woke up this morning tired of eggs. This was delicious - used olive oil and smoked paprika pinch. Also pulsed the chick peas (easier on the wrists!). Great recipe.
