Vegan, gluten free omelet

    I normally eat eggs for breakfast. Pretty much every day my breakfast has dairy; milk in my cereal, yogurt in my smoothie, cheese in my omelet...sometimes all of the above! But right now I'm avoiding dairy, gluten, sugar and soy. 
    Yesterday I had a smoothie with brown rice in it for breakfast, not my favorite. The flavor was fine, it still tasted like a smoothie. The girls hated it. Bella said "I don't want to have to chew my smoothie mom!" She was right. You have to chew it. No thanks!
    What I wanted was eggs. An omelet to be exact. So I started looking online for vegan gluten free recipes. I found this page and the pictures looked yummy. The recipe was actually over on this page though, scroll down to number 5.
     So what did I have for breakfast this morning? My very first vegan omelet. Here's what I did...

Ingredients:
veggies- I used broccoli, zucchini, red bell pepper, and cilantro
olive oil
3/4 cup chick pea flour
1 clove garlic, crushed
1/2 tsp. turmeric
1/2 tsp. yellow curry powder
1/4 tsp. all-purpose seasoning salt
2/3cup almond milk
Jane's Krazy mixed up salt
pepper

DIRECTIONS:

Drizzle a bit of olive oil in your pan  and sauté the veggies so they soften slightly, but you don't want them completely soggy. While that is going on a low heat, in a mixing bowl add the chick pea flour, spices, and garlic.Then stir in the milk to make a batter. When veggies are done, take them out and set them aside. Pour in the batter, tilting the pan to let it spread around. Cook like you would a regular omelet.
 

The chick pea flour. All I did was put dry chick peas (garbanzo beans) in my blendtec, and voila...flour!

The batter. It was pretty lumpy so I used my stick blender. Next time I might just mix it my blendtec.

I poured the batter in the pan and then seasoned with salt and pepper.

Flip it over.

Remember those sautéed veggies?

Add them to your pan now and top with cilantro...or not if you don't like it.

Fold it over. You do have to wait longer to do this than you would with eggs.

Get in my belly!!!

I ended up taking off the top piece, and eating it like this. the other half is in the fridge for tomorrow.

 

 

    Now this does not taste like eggs, but...BUT it is yummy and a half! Feeling a bit hopeful now that I know there's something that's vegan, gluten free, sugar free and soy free that I can enjoy in the morning!!!!
