Why you’ll love this Chickpea Scramble:
Protein Filled: It is loaded with protein from the chickpeas to keep you full Flavorful: It is easy to make but doesn’t fall short of impressing with flavor Versatile: Can be made with items you probably already have on hand in your pantry
Ingredient Notes:
Chickpeas: High in dietary fiber, chickpeas are great to make you more regular, they can help lower cholesterol and are a great protein source for vegetarians. Aquafaba: I know this sounds like a wild word and if you are new to a plant-based diet you may have never heard what aquafaba is before. Aquafaba is water in which legume seeds, such as chickpeas, have been cooked. Aka it’s the juice that comes in the chickpea can. What’s great about aquafaba is that its texture mimics the functional properties in egg whites therefore it can easily be a great vegan substitute in baking and cooking. Sprouted Bread: Guess what!?!? You should also be soaking your grains! This is the process Silver Hills uses for all of its products, and that’s why they call themselves a “sprouted” bakery. Like nuts, when you soak/sprout grains you unlock all of the nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. Sprouted grains also have a lower glycemic index, increased soluble fibre, and protein. This will help regulate your blood sugar levels and help you maintain your energy level throughout the day. Talk about baked goods that are actually good for you.

What is the best plant-based bread to use for this chickpea breakfast? I like to put this scramble together in a sandwich to make it even more satisfying. The bread I love to use is Silver Hills Sprouted Power Organic Multigrain Bread. I always try and have their bread on hand, even if it’s just in the freezer for me to defrost. What I love about their bread is that it’s made with 11 grams of whole grains per slice. It’s also made with certified organic ingredients, and it’s a Canadian company. As you know, I love supporting local as much as I can and knowing where the food I’m consuming is coming from, especially during these chaotic times we’re living through. We’re all forced to stay home, which can have its highs and lows, so for me, putting together a great breakfast or meal is one of the things that boost my mood throughout the day, and motivate me to still be productive within the four walls of my house! How do you build the best breakfast sandwich? You can totally eat this Chickpea Scramble on its own, however, you can also eat it in a yummy breakfast sandwich loaded with toppings of your choosing. That’s how I like to eat it to make it more satisfying! What I do is add anything I have in my fridge, but feel free to get creative here with your fav toppings. Here’s some inspiration to get those wheels turning:
