healthy crackers with chickpea gluten free
|
Is chickpea flour gluten free? This is one of the most common questions asked today. Ever since gluten was presented as a beast. Well, gluten is not that bad for everyone. It is harmful for only those who suffer from celiac disease or allergies. For everybody else, gluten is safe.

So I have come up with the tastiest and healthiest cracker recipe for those looking for chickpea gluten free snacks.
I simply loved the wheat-oat crackers that I prepared a few days back. I have got some amazing reviews on the sesame cracker recipe that I baked with whole wheat flour.
Here's some feedback on the same.
This time I wanted to try making crunchy bites with chickpea flour to make a gluten free savory snack for Diwali. I was not surprised to bake the best and healthiest crackers ever! I plan to bake one batch for my parents in Patiala as a Diwali gift.
What are your plans for diwali? If you plan to offer a healthy Diwali gift to someone special, go for this recipe or the sesame crackers. They would love you even more!

A few words on chickpea flour:
It is
- gluten free - means no allergy threat to you
- rich in iron, protein, and fiber - means it is a complete grain
- has a good amount of potassium, manganese, magnesium,
- a versatile flour - can be used for making sweets, savories, snacks, healthy crackers, desserts (hmmm...my mind has gone into thinking mode)
- comprises 40% dietary fiber
So how do you use chickpea flour or gram flour, as it is commonly known across India?
