Chickpea Frittata Muffins
Ingredients
- 120 g chickpea flour
- 250 ml water (can sub with plant milk to make these more dense)
- 15 g nutritional yeast
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 300 g mixed vegetables (finely chopped - we used 1 handful of baby spinach, 6 cherry tomatoes, 1/3 of a red pepper & 1/4 cup of corn kernels)
- 50 g vegan cheese (grated)
- salt and pepper (few cracks, omit for babies under 12 months)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180c/350f.
- Add all of the dry ingredients and the water to a large bowl and mix together with a whisk to remove any lumps.
- Add the veggies & cheese and stir to combine.
- Evenly distribute across muffin liners or a tray.
- Place in the preheated oven and cook for 25-30 minutes until a skewer comes out clean. These will continue to firm up as they cool.
- Leave in the liners for 10-15 minutes before removing (so they don’t stick to the liners) and leave to cool on a cooling rack if you aren't eating them straight away.
Storage
Store in the fridge for 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.Notes
Make sure to finely dice all your veggies first babies under 12 months ✨
Even though we used small and large liners so I had big ones and she had small muffins, we cooked them for the same amount of time as they were the same thickness and cooked perfectly as each other - feel free to use all the same sizes if you like, these are just what we had).

I’ve tried similar recipes like this and have always failed but I’ve made this recipe twice now and both times it’s been a great success. They taste great reheated in the air fryer. 21 month old also likes them.
So glad these work for you! And so good your little one likes them!
I love your recipes and make your quiche recipe for my baby often. This looks very similar but without the pastry and in a different form. Do you think I can make it in a sheet (like sheet pancakes) instead of muffins?
Hi So glad you like our quiche recipe. Yes for sure this could work perfect like a slice! x
