Instructions
- Process Chickpeas: Place 1 cup of chickpeas in the high-speed blender and process for a few minutes until you get a fine powder, scraping down the sides as necessary.
- Sift the Chickpea Flour: Pass the processed chickpeas through fine-mesh sieve, filtering out any large pieces.
- Return Unprocessed Pieces to Blender: Return all the large pieces unprocessed pieces of chickpeas to the blender and blend until you get a fine powder.
- Repeat: Repeat with the remaining chickpeas until all are used up.
- Store in Glass Jar: Store the homemade chickpea flour in an airtight glass jar for up to 6 months (or longer if you store it in the refrigerator) until ready to use.
Notes
Process in Batches: To prevent the blender from overheating, make sure you process the chickpeas in a 2 or 3 batches.
Sift the Flour: To ensure that you get as fine a flour as possible, I recommend sifting the flour through a fine-mesh sieve to get rid of any large pieces. It may take a longer time but it is definitely worth it.
