Healthy, easy Vegan Chickpea Scramble! Perfect for breakfast!
This chickpea scramble breakfast bowl is my vegan answer to scrambled eggs. I can’t take credit for the idea of “scrambling” chickpeas, but this is my version that I’ve come to love. Chickpeas are such a interesting ingredient…. the water in which the chickpeas sit in their can – known as aquafaba – has amazing, egg-like properties, and can be used for baking or even to make meringues. In this recipe, the aquafaba lends the chickpeas their scrambled egg-like texture.

Ingredients
Chickpea Scramble
- 1 15 oz Can of Chickpeas
- 1/2 Tsp Turmeric
- 1/2 Tsp Salt
- 1/2 Tsp Pepper

- 2 Cloves Garlic minced

Instructions
Chickpea Scramble
- In a bowl, pour out chickpeas AND a little bit of the water they’re in. Mash chickpeas slightly with a fork, leaving some whole. Mix in turmeric, salt, and pepper until evenly combined.
- Then, mince garlic and dice onion. Heat a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. First, sauté the onions until they are soft. Then add the garlic and continue sautéing until garlic is fragrant – about a minute or so. Be careful not to let garlic brown!
- When onions and garlic are done, add in mashed chickpeas and sauté for about five minutes.
Breakfast Bowls
- Assemble the breakfast bowls. Add in some mixed greens at the bottom of the bowls, topped with the chickpea scramble. Top with minced cilantro and parsley. Serve with avocado slices.
- Enjoy!
Notes
This bowl would also be delicious topped with coconut bacon! Also please note that this recipe is very turmeric-forward. If turmeric’s not your thing, feel free to use less or omit altogether.
