Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 200g chickpea flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 eggs
- 150ml water
- 100g grated cheese (optional)
- 1/2 cup chopped vegetables (e.g., spinach, bell peppers)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). This ensures that your muffins will bake evenly and rise properly.
- Gather all your ingredients: 200g of chickpea flour, 1 tsp of baking powder, 1/2 tsp of salt, 1/4 tsp of black pepper, 2 eggs, 150ml of water, 100g of grated cheese (if using), and 1/2 cup of chopped vegetables like spinach or bell peppers.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chickpea flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix these dry ingredients well to ensure that the baking powder is evenly distributed throughout the flour.
- In a separate bowl, beat the 2 eggs until they are well combined. Then, add the 150ml of water to the eggs and mix until smooth.
- Gradually pour the egg and water mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients, stirring continuously. This will help to avoid lumps and create a smooth batter.
- If you are using cheese, fold in the 100g of grated cheese into the batter at this stage, mixing well to combine.
- Next, add the 1/2 cup of chopped vegetables into the batter. Gently fold them in until they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Prepare a muffin tin by greasing it lightly with oil or using muffin liners to prevent sticking.
- Using a ladle or a spoon, carefully fill each muffin cup with the batter, filling them about 2/3 full to allow for rising during baking.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature, and enjoy your delicious Muffins Salati con Farina di Ceci!
