Hello Angels,
Recent years, I prefer to bake pastry at home. Homemade bread and cake is my favorite things to eat.
Every week, I try different cake recipes. I prefer to use healthy ingredients such as dates, sometimes brown sugar and gluten free flour (because of my gluten allergy).
Chickpea flour is one of my favorite flour. When I bake cake, I often prefer this healthy and delicious flour.
Chickpea is a type of legume which is super healthy and versatile. It has been a huge part of traditional diet for years.
Chickpea flour is made from garbanzo beans. It is a staple ingredient in Middle East and Asia.
I love to read and try healthy foods and I made a research about benefits of chickpea flour.
