  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 12 mini quiches

Ingredients

Batter Ingredients

  • 2 cups chickpea flour
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 cups almond milk

Vegetables

  • 1 cup chopped red bell pepper
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, chopped
  • 1/4 cup chopped red onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped spinach

Other

  • Cooking spray for muffin tin

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to fully preheat to ensure even baking of your mini quiches.
  2. Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, baking powder, salt, ground pepper, and garlic powder. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well incorporated.
  3. Add the Almond Milk: Pour in the almond milk gradually while whisking until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
  4. Incorporate the Vegetables: Fold in the chopped red bell pepper, jalapeno, red onion, and spinach, mixing gently to evenly distribute the veggies throughout the batter.
  5. Prepare the Muffin Tin: Lightly spray the muffin tin with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  6. Fill the Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter evenly into each muffin cup, filling them almost to the top for nicely shaped mini quiches.
  7. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 27 to 30 minutes. The quiches should be set and lightly golden on top.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the mini quiches cool in the pan for a few minutes before carefully removing them. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • For a spicier quiche, you can add more jalapeno or include some chili flakes in the batter.
  • These mini quiches can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • They can be reheated in the oven or microwave before serving.
  • If you prefer a different plant milk, you can substitute almond milk with soy or oat milk, maintaining the same quantity.
  • Ensure the chickpea flour is well sifted to avoid lumps in the batter.
