Ingredients & Substitutions
I love using chickpeas in this recipe because they’re packed with protein and add a nice texture. Nutritional yeast gives it that cheesy flavor without any nutritional yeast, and you can really throw in any veggies you have around! If you don’t have flaxseed, you can use a chia flax egg instead - just mix chia seeds with water in the same ratio.
Tips & Notes
- •I love adding some diced bell peppers or mushrooms for extra flavor and nutrition!
- •If you want a little kick, sprinkle in some red pepper flakes when sautéing the spinach.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll add in some sun-dried tomatoes or olives for a Mediterranean twist.
- •You could also replace the spinach with kale or Swiss chard if you prefer.
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. I usually slice it into pieces for easy grabbing during the week!

- 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a small bowl, mix the ground flaxseed with 9 tablespoons of water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to thicken - this will be your flax flax egg.

- 4
In a mixing bowl, combine the chickpeas, nutritional yeast, plant-based almond milk, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the flax flax egg and mix well.
- 5
Once the spinach is ready, remove it from the heat and fold it into the chickpea mixture.
- 6
Pour the mixture into a greased or parchment-lined 9-inch pie dish or oven-safe skillet.
- 7
If you're using cherry tomatoes, scatter them on top of the frittata.
- 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the frittata is firm and lightly golden on top.
