For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the spice mix. Serve these hummus pancakes with a dollop of Greek yogurt, a drizzle of tahini, or a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro. The chickpea liquid adds richness and helps bind the ingredients. Adjust the amount according to the desired consistency. Feel free to substitute with all-purpose flour if whole wheat flour is not available.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Simultaneously, preheat your oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a small bowl, meticulously combine 1 teaspoon of cumin, paprika, chili powder, and ground coriander to create a vibrant spice mix. (2 minutes)
03
StepIn a food processor or blender, combine the drained chickpeas, tahini, egg, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, the remaining 1 teaspoon of cumin, salt, and pepper. Blend until the mixture is exceptionally smooth, adding reserved chickpea liquid as needed to achieve the desired consistency. Transfer the mixture to a bowl. (7 minutes)
04
StepGently fold in the whole wheat flour, about 1 tablespoon at a time, until the batter gracefully drops from a large spoon, indicating the perfect pancake consistency. (3 minutes)
05
StepTest the skillet’s readiness by flicking a few drops of water onto the surface; if they dance and sizzle, it is ready. Add about 1 teaspoon of olive oil to the hot skillet. (1 minute)
06
StepCarefully drop the batter by large spoonfuls onto the griddle, forming circles approximately 3 to 4 inches in diameter. Cook until bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges appear dry, approximately 3 to 4 minutes. (4 minutes)
07
StepFlip the pancakes with a spatula and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 2 to 3 minutes. (3 minutes)
08
StepTransfer the cooked pancakes to a baking sheet and keep warm in the preheated oven while you prepare the remaining batter. Grease the pan as needed with the remaining olive oil to prevent sticking. (2 minutes)
09
StepSprinkle the warm pancakes with the prepared cumin mixture and a delicate pinch of salt to enhance their Mediterranean flavor. (1 minute)
