If you’re anything like us, no matter you’ve had for dinner the night before, when breakfast time swings around, you’re ready for it. This has never been truer than when camping. There’s something about spending the night outside and feeling the warming sun’s rays on your exposed skin that ignites a hunger from within.

For those slower starts to the day this vegan chickpea flour omelette is the perfect morning munch to gobble down.

We like to rustle up this vegan omelette when cycle touring, as you have the luxury of extra space in your panniers for all the ingredients. It’s also a great choice for those days when daylight is in your favour as it takes a little while to cook. Not the best breakfast for the jam-packed days in winter when you’re eager to get going.

This recipe is completely vegan and doesn’t contain any yeast or tofu, what’s more, you can always mix up the veg to suit whoever you’re having for breakfast. If yeast is a go-zone for you, a sprinkling of about a tablespoon of nutritional yeast into the batter adds a cheesy undertone to this dish. It’s also a great alternative to sweet breakfasts which aren’t everybody’s cup of tea first thing in the morning.
Which leads us to, how to make a vegan omelette…
Well, it’s easier than you may think. Simply begin by frying off the onion and garlic, before adding the veg to soften a little. If you’re feeling extra lazy or fresh onion and garlic is a stretch for your camping trip, you can easily substitute for onion and garlic powder, although fresh does taste better.
Meanwhile, you can whisk up all the chickpea flour omelette ingredients. Put some elbow grease into this part to make sure the batter is fully combined with no lumps, using a whisk or fork will do.
Once the veggies have cooked a little, pour over the gram flour omelette mixture and let the base get a little crispy before the moment of truth. The fateful flip. If you’re a little cautious, like me, put a plate over the pan then flip and shimmy the omelette back into the pan. If you dare you can try flipping it with a spachelor, which if successful means you’re an original badass.
I recommend a wide spachelor to help you get right underneath the omelette and avoid any breaking.
You can make this vegan omelette recipe at home for a lighter meal or it’s ideal to make on the camp stove. The consistency is surprisingly not too dissimilar from an egg omelette. You can also multiply the recipe simply but doubling it, depending on how many hungry hikers you have to feed, or how much of an appetite you worked up the day before.
You can also double the mixture and use a bigger pan to make a large omelette, something we like to do when having this recipe at home for an epic breakfast or even dinner.
