Chickpea flour, we’re always looking for ways to sneak in protein and this cornbread is no exception. We always have quinoa and chickpea flour on deck and test to see if the recipe can handle adding one. We were happily surprised that we didn’t notice any difference what so ever with the addition of the chickpea flour and got to add a little protein.
