Ingredients

  • 50 g Rolled Oats

  • 400 g Biona Organic Chickpeas

  • ½ tsp Garlic Powder

  • 1 tsp Onion Powder

  • ¼ tsp Ground Cumin

  • 50 g Breadcrumbs

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

  2. In a blender or food processor, blitz the oats until finely ground.

  3. Drain the chickpeas, saving the liquid (aquafaba), and add the chickpeas to the blender along with the oats, ½ teaspoon onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt, pepper, and 5 tablespoons of aquafaba. Blitz into a thick paste, leaving some chunks for texture.

  4. In a shallow dish, mix the breadcrumbs with the remaining ½ teaspoon of onion powder.

  5. Roll 1 tablespoon of the chickpea mixture into a ball and shape it into a nugget. Coat in the breadcrumb mixture and place on the baking tray. Repeat with the remaining mixture.

  6. Bake for 20 minutes (they’ll stay light in color) and enjoy!
