Why You'll Love This Recipe

Unlike your typical carb-heavy pancake, this version packs in protein and fiber thanks to chickpeas, Greek yogurt, and egg—without sacrificing flavor. Plus, they cook in under 10 minutes!

🛒 Ingredients (Makes 2–3 pancakes):

• 1/2 cup Original ChiChi, blended into fine flour

• 1/2 tsp baking powder

• Pinch of salt

• 1 egg

• 1/4 cup Greek yogurt

• 1/3–1/2 cup almond milk (adjust for consistency)

• Turkey ham slices

• Shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)

👩🍳 Instructions:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the ChiChi flour, baking powder, and salt.

2. Add the egg, Greek yogurt, and 1/3 cup almond milk. Mix well until a thick batter forms. If too thick, add a bit more milk.

3. Heat a greased skillet over medium heat. Pour a layer of batter to form your base pancake.

4. Add turkey ham and shredded cheese on top of the batter.

5. Spoon more batter over the filling and gently spread to cover.

6. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 2–3 minutes. Flip and cook another 2 minutes until golden.

7. Serve warm and enjoy that cheesy, savory goodness.

💡 Pro Tips:

• Want to make it vegetarian? Swap turkey ham for sautéed mushrooms or spinach.

• Store extras in the fridge and reheat in a skillet or toaster oven for a quick weekday breakfast.

• Try adding a pinch of paprika or garlic powder to the batter for a flavor twist.

These pancakes are a fun, creative way to use ChiChi beyond the bowl—and a great intro recipe for savory breakfast lovers. Let us know if you try it out, and tag us @chickpeaoats so we can see your creations!
