‘Tis this season for pumpkin everything. These easy vegan pumpkin chickpea fritters are gluten-free, super simple to make and just 15 minutes of your time. Did we mention that they’re also super delicious? What more could you ask for?!

As soon as the fall hits, we are all about autumnal flavors, and our recipes for the next few weeks are sure to reflect that. These pumpkin chickpea fritters have a subtle pumpkin flavor, but they are just all-around delicious. We also snuck in some kale and celery in there, so these are even pretty darn healthy, too.

This recipe came about because Jasmine and I filmed a Mystery Box Challenge for YouTube. The idea of the challenge was for Jasmine to choose 4 random ingredients and I had to make a recipe with them. For any additional ingredients used in the recipe, I could only use items we had in the house already, which is a great way to use up food and leftovers. We did this mystery box challenge once before with Jasmine making a recipe. If you want to check that out, it’s right here.

The mystery ingredients for this challenge were chickpea flour, pumpkin puree, celery, and kale. After a quick brainstorming session, I thought to make chickpea fritters. These are the perfect kid-friendly snack and have a little touch of fall flavor as well.

Ingredients

• 1 cup chickpea flour
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon curry powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon coriander
• Pinch of black pepper
• 1 stalk of celery

Instructions

1. In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the chickpea flour and spices until well-combined. Set aside.
2. In a food processor add in celery and kale and process until finely chopped.
3. Add the kale mixture along with the remaining ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until a thick batter forms.
4. In a medium-sized pan on medium heat, add in a splash of avocado oil. Using a tablespoon sized spoon or cookie scooper, scoop the batter onto the pan and spread into 1/2 inch thick circles.
5. Cook on each side for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. These will cook quick so keep an eye out!
6. Place cooked fritters on a paper towel-lined plate to cool.
7. Garnish with cilantro and serve with hummus. Enjoy!

Notes

• We watered down our hummus a bit to make it more of a loose dip/sauce as we prefer that texture with these fritters.
