This turmeric chickpea flour frittata muffins recipe is a fantastic pantry-staple breakfast! It uses almost all ingredients you would have in your dry pantry or cupboards. You probably already have a lot of these ingredients on hand. Keeping a well-stocked pantry makes it easy to come up with delicious and healthy meals using a few staples you can rotate. I made a list of my Top 125 Plant-Based Pantry Staples that always keep on hand. And you can check out all my favorite pantry staple recipes on TheHerbeevore.com here.

What’s In This Chickpea Flour Frittata Muffins Recipe?
- Chickpea Flour: also called besan flour or gram flour. I stocked up on a huge bag of this amazing chickpea flour, and I’ve been making tons of these amazing muffins. Chickpea flour is super high in protein, and you can use it to make these muffins, in regular baking, or to make healthy and delicious breakfast scrambles.
- Turmeric – a staple in our spice cabinet! Aside from all the wonderful health benefits of turmeric (hello anti-inflammation!), the flavor is fantastic. I try to add a teaspoon of turmeric into soups, stews, and rice dishes too.
- Nutritional Yeast: I like adding delicious nutritional yeast for a savory cheesy flavor to my dishes. Nutritional yeast is different than active baking yeast, so make sure you are getting the correct kind!
- Garlic powder: adds a little pop of flavor to these muffins, I always keep garlic powder well-stocked in our spice cabinet.
- Baking Powder: I like using a reduced sodium baking powder in all my baking, just to cut back on the sodium we take in. The baking powder is an essential ingredient, and will help these muffins rise and become lighter and more airy.
- Water
- Corn
- Kale: I used frozen kale that we grew in our garden this summer, and froze.
- Red Pepper Flakes: for a little spice and heat, I sprinkle these red pepper flakes on almost everything! You can skip these if you don’t like spice, but I find they add a nice flavor to the muffins.

Gluten Free Frittata Muffins for the WIN!

How Do I Make Savory Chickpea Turmeric Muffins?
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a muffin pan and set aside, or line cups with muffin liners.
- Mix all ingredients in a medium sized mixing bowl, batter should have a very liquid-y consistency.
- Evenly pour batter into the muffin cups. Bake for 35 minutes. The sides of the muffins should just begin to brown and pull away from the muffin pan. Remove pan from oven and allow to cool before eating.
- If you eat the muffins warm, straight from the oven, they may have a softer center. Allow to cool and they will firm up. Mangia!
