Chickpea Flour Pizza (Gluten-free)

Chickpea Flour Pizza

Do you like pizza?

Do you want a healthy, gluten free, low carb pizza that’s ready in minutes?

Pizza is one of mine and my husband’s guilty pleasures and we love ordering one on a Friday night in. Relaxing on the sofa with a good TV show or movie and a cheesy, warm (usually tuna) pizza! But this only happens on rare occasions since one slice of pizza usually adds up to anywhere between 100-250 calories and if we’re ordering pizza the chances are I won’t stop at just one or two, or even three slices! So to make sure we don’t feel like we’re missing out, I make my own, healthified (if that’s even a word?) version.

The toppings change each time depending on what we fancy or what there is available in the fridge but the base is always the same. High in protein, lower in carbs, gluten free and is ready in minutes! No waiting around for the dough to rise or double in size…just quick and easy.

For the gluten-free base, I’m using chickpea (gram) flour, salt and water…that’s it! All you have to do is mix, cook it in a skillet/frying pan like you would a pancake, then add on your toppings of choice. I know pizza is known as a ‘fast food’, but if that’s the case then this pizza should be defined as ‘faster than fast food’! it takes a fraction of the time a normal pizza would take to make and it’s healthy. You can’t beat that!

Like I said, I do like to order the odd takeaway pizza every now and then, but when you have a craving for pizza and you’re:

1. On a tight budget,
2. Want to enjoy pizza without guilt or ruining your diet,
3. You don’t want to wait for a pizza to be baked and delivered and want it right now,
4. Or want to eat pizza often without gaining weight or affecting your health.

Then this is the pizza for you!

I’m making two different versions – a vegetarian one and a tuna one. I usually make the tuna one as the hubby is a big fan and he requests it often. You can easily make this chickpea flour pizza vegan by leaving out the cheese and just using the tomato sauce and veggies.
