What You Need to Make Gluten Free Chickpea Muffins 

To make this easy chickpea muffin recipe you will need a few simple ingredients. You can find these items at your local grocery store, and also online.

• 1 – 15.5 oz can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 1/2 cup almond butter (or other nut butter of choice)

Chickpea Muffin Recipe Ingredients Notes:

Chickpeas – these little legumes are packed with protein and glutamine. Glutamine is a very important amino acid found in the body that is known to help with digestion, muscle recovery, gut lining, and immunity, just to name a few.

Honey – to keep your chickpea muffins refined sugar-free we are using honey as a sweetener. Honey is a much better alternative to traditional table sugar. Make sure to use raw and unprocessed honey. This is the one that I like here: honey.

When it comes to the nut butter, you can use your preferred nut butter. Cashew butter, almond butter, and peanut butter will all work. Cashew butter is a great alternative to almond or peanut butter and it adds a delicious mild nutty flavor. Peanut butter and almond butter are also great choices.

No matter which nut butter you prefer make sure that there is nothing added but the nuts. Some brands tend to sneak unwanted oils or sugars in. My favorite brand is from Trader Joes. If you don’t have a Trader Joe’s near you, you can order them online nut butter.

Oats are a commonly used ingredient in gluten free baking. This recipe uses rolled oats and not quick oats. You can find gluten-free organic rolled oats online rolled oats.

Oats are a slow digesting carb full of healthy fiber. A slow carb raises blood sugar levels slowly and gradually. By doing this they help us stay full longer and provide a steady stream of energy. While, fast carbs digest quickly, causing a spike in blood sugar. Processed foods that contain refined sugar and white flour are fast carbs.

How to Make the Healthy Gluten Free Chickpea Muffins 

First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Then place all of the ingredients into a food processor.

Blend until smooth.

Line a muffin pan with muffin liners, or spray the muffin tin with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Scoop equal portions of the muffin batter into the muffin cups.

Bake the gluten free chickpea muffins for 20-22 minutes until slightly golden brown and they pass the toothpick test.

Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool.
