Vegan Bites: The Finally Falafel

 

FINALLY!

A falafel that is simple and delicious! Plus, everybody gave it a 5-star rating!

Whoop whoop!

It works as a DIY dry mix, so you can make the mix ahead in quantity and measure out bits as you need them. We made a few tweaks, but the original recipe is courtesy of Trudy Stone Nutrition https://trudyestone.com/easy-chickpea-flour-falafel/

Chickpea Falafel

~1c chickpea flour

~3/4t+ salt

~1/4t each baking soda, coriander, chili & paprika

~1/2t each garlic powder, cumin

Mix well. Double or triple recipe for storage.

~1/2c warm water
