Peach Cobbler with Chickpea Flour

Peach Cobbler with Chickpea Flour – spicy, low-carb summer dessert.

The other day I was surfing the internet to see what I could to with my garbanzo flour and I found this recipe for a Peach Cobbler with Chickpea Flour. Since I already had some peaches sitting on my counter it didn’t take me long to decide to try out this recipe.

Garbanzo/chickpea flour is high in protein and low in carbohydrates so it is suitable for all people on a low-carb or diabetic diet as well as those trying to cut back on gluten.

I thought it would be the best to use lot of spices to cover the garbanzo taste. I used cinnamon, vanilla, lemon zest and nutmeg. In the end I added just a dash of clove, but it turned out to be a mistake. The clove aroma was so overpowering that I couldn’t taste anything else (that is why I didn’t include it in the recipe).
The original recipe called for 1/4 teaspoon ginger which I didn’t use. I guess everybody needs to find his/her own favorite blend of spices.

All-in-all Peach Cobbler with Chickpea Flour was an interesting summer recipe to add to our healthy food collection.
