Vegan Chickpea Soufflé

Today I’m trying to make something unachievable. More precisely, vegan chickpea soufflé.

After big success with my Fluffy Vegan Omelette, this task seems easier than usually. I tried to make chickpea flour omelette with whipped aquafaba before, but I just couldn’t make it right. But what if I cook it in the oven?

The chickpea flour itself is quite heavy, so I added my favorite ingredient – psyllium husk. Just a small amount of it helps to bind and thicken the mixture, so you need less flour in your batter. The result is a much fluffier soufflé. It doesn’t look very promising on a picture, but the mouthfeel is very light, not like other recipes with chickpeas flour. Just try it out!

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease ramekins generously with oil and set aside.

Blend tofu, chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, psyllium husk, baking powder, Kala Namak, spices and water in a blender until smooth.

Pour the batter into a mixing bowl. Chop the parsley and mix it into the batter.

Beat aquafaba to stiff peaks. Gently fold it into the chickpea batter with a spatula.

Divide the batter between two ramekins and place in the oven for 25-30 minutes.

Serve immediately.
