Chickpea Beer Bread

By Julie Stewart Nutrition

It’s so quick and easy to make this gluten free/ oil free loaf using only 3 INGREDIENTS!

Ingredients

  • 2 and 2/3 cups (320 g) chickpea (gram) flour
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons bicarbonate of soda
  • 1 x 330ml bottle or can beer (use a gluten-free / non-alcoholic beer, as needed) OR a bottle of sparking water

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 190C (375F)
  2. Line a 9x5-inch (22.5x12.5 cm) loaf pan with baking parchment
  3. In a large bowl, add the chickpea flour and bicarbonate of soda and whisk together.
  4. Slowly (so that it does not foam too much) pour in the beer/sparkling water.
  5. Gently whisk or stir until just blended. Immediately pour batter into prepared baking pan.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 42 to 45 minutes until golden brown, the top has cracks, and a skewer inserted near the centre of the loaf comes out clean.
  7. Allow to cool on a wire rack before slicing and enjoying with your favourite toppings.
