I did not come up with this recipe. I just tweeked a recipe I found a few years ago when I was trying to follow yet another diet. It has become a family favorite over the past few years. Here it is:

(to fit a large cookie sheet, or 2 round pizza stones)

3 3/4 C cooked chickpeas

3 eggs

1 1/4 C flour (I prefer spelt)

pinch of salt

2 TBSP olive oil

1TBSP Italian herbs

Oil, butter or cooking spray (to coat baking pan)

1.Using a blender or food processor, blend eggs with chickpeas until smooth.

2. Place mixture in mixing bowl. Stir in flour, salt, herbs, and olive oil.

3. Coat baking pan with oil. Press mixture into pan (or on baking stone). I have found it helpful to use a metal spatula to make it even.

4. Bake in 400 degree preheated oven for 10 minutes. Pull out, add sauce and toppings. Bake for another 15 minutes.

I will include my 2 favorite sauce/toppings combinations;

-Red sauce, (I buy Classico spaghetti sauce because it’s tasty, inexpensive, and has no sugar! I blend it before adding it to the pizza because it’s a bit chunky.) fresh spinach, sliced black olives, fresh sliced mushrooms, broccoli, purple onion, fresh pressed garlic. If I make this for my kids, I add mozzarella & provolone cheeses.

-Pesto (I buy fresh pesto from Costco), Mushrooms, Sliced black olives, fresh sliced tomato, fresh pressed garlic. (Again, if for my kids, I add the cheese, and include feta.)
