Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups chickpeas, in liquid, strained, reserve liquid
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 medium onion, peeled and chopped into large pieces
  • 1/2 bunch fresh parsley
  • 1/2 bunch fresh cilantro
  • 1 tbsp Braggs liquid aminos or low sodium soy or tamari sauce
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 2 tbsp ground flax seeds
  • Black pepper to taste
  • *Cayenne pepper, optional, to taste (about 1/8th tsp)

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F 
  2. Combine chickpeas, garlic, onion, parsley, cilantro, Braggs in a food processor, and process until coarsely mixed. Stop processor, and push or scrape down as needed. May have to do this a few times, to push everything in. Can add small amount chickpea liquid if needed until the mixture blends thoroughly.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine processed chickpea mixture, cumin, coriander, flax seed, pepper, and oats to create a batter thick enough that you can clump it together. (Can add additional oats, if needed.)
  4. Place 12 clumps (loosely shaped like balls) on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
  5. Bake at 425°F for 25 minutes, or until golden brown
  6. Enjoy!
