Chickpea Flatbread Pizza with Hummus and Avocado (Gluten Free)

A super healthy and tasty chickpea flatbread pizza topped with creamy hummus and avocado. This makes the perfect, wholesome brunch or lunch

I’m having a lazy day today, relaxing after the crazy week I’ve just had.

I started by twisting my ankle, and getting a horrible cold!

Then I was off to Barcelona for 3 days with work (mostly work and a bit of play!). Then off to Glasgow late Friday night for a demo at The Allergy and FreeFrom show, and then finally home. Phew!

So I’ve had a very relaxing day, and now a quick and easy lunch is required, and nothing beats a flatbread pizza.

Super tasty and satisfying, and they can be made in minutes, of course!

I made a protein packed gram flour flatbread base which is naturally gluten-free as it’s made from chickpeas.

I then topped it with hummus, avocado for some good fats and just deliciousness, cherry tomatoes and some charred asparagus.

The gram flour flatbread has a slightly drier texture, so I usually make sure I top with some creamy toppings like hummus or avocado.

I actually can’t believe I haven’t posted a recipe for this before, as after my buckwheat flatbreads, this is a regular weekend lunchtime feature.

Love, Niki xx

Ingredients

For the gram flour flatbread

1 cup gram flour
1 tsp. olive oil
1/2 tsp baking powder
Pinch black pepper
1 tsp pink Himalayan salt
1/2 cup water

For the toppings

1 avocado sliced
Hummus
Cherry tomatoes
Handful asparagus
Olive oil

Instructions

To make the flatbread

To make the gram flour flatbread; pre-heat a griddle pan (or frying pan) so that it’s nice and hot.
In a bowl, mix the flour, oil, baking powder, salt & pepper and then add the water. Mix to form a dough and knead a little so that it comes together.
On a floured chopping board, roll out the dough and then place on a griddle pan (griddle pans work the best as you get lovely charred stripes on the flatbread, but a frying pan also works).
The flatbread will literally cook in a couple of minutes, simply flip it over when the underside is charring and cook on the other side a minute longer.

To char the asparagus

Heat a small frying pan to medium, then a splash of olive oil. Add the asparagus and fry for a few minutes, turning occasionally until they are a little charred.

To top the pizza

Top the pizza with hummus, avocado, tomatoes, asparagus, rocket or anything else you fancy.

Hello . Busy making these now and found the proportion wrong, I doubled up and ended up using 4 cups of flour to 1 cup water. Did I go wrong ?

Thanks. Angela

Love all your recipes xx

  Hi Angela
  Its 1 cup of flour to 1/2 water so half water basically. You need to add 2 cups water for that amount.
  Much love, Niki xxx

  Hi Daniela
  Thanks for you question – gram flour is chickpea flour. I hope you can find it. Buckwheat flour is also gluten free and would work well for this recipe.
  I hope you can find some.
  Love, Niki ????????

  Hi Gina
  I’m afraid I haven’t tried but I think almond flour would need to be binded by eggs.
  Best wishes
