Chickpea flour is something of a miracle ingredient in that, in addition to being an excellent gluten-free and grain-free substitute in all kinds of baked goods, it also works in lieu of eggs in quiches, scramble, and baked egg dishes such as this frittata. The proportions of chickpea flour, water and oil for this frittata in this recipe create an incredibly creamy result that still sets up perfectly.
