Jalapeno Veggie Fritters

When I first encountered coconut flour, I was obsessed & baked with it all the time.

This year I have been on a Garbanzo Bean Flour kick. (While still using coconut flour of course!)

Why?It is…

• cheap. A bag of Bob’s Red mill only costs $2.69 & I find it on sale often as well.
• only made from one ingredient, Garbanzo Beans. Aka, the most clean🙂
• a great replacement for almost any regular flourwithout having to adjust your liquid ratio.
• high in fiber & protein.
• low in sugar.
• a great egg replacement for vegan cooking. I use this flour to make pancakes, ‘egg’ bakes & more.
• tastes great.

I cannot recommend this flour more. Next time you are baking or cooking, replace all or some of your regular flour with Garbanzo Bean Flour. Then sit back & enjoy the yummy taste & added nutritional benefit!

So now on to these Jalapeno Veggie Fritters.

They are…

• easy to make.
• a protein & vitamin packed healthy breakfast.
• made with spices that are beneficial to your health.
• loaded with heat & flavor.
• delicious.
