Broccoli Chickpea Cakes

A few weeks back I visited blogger friend Krys new vegan food blog Dine In Not Out and was intrigued by these crustless vegan 'Quiches' dubbed by her Breakfast of Champions.  I became first acquainted with Krys, obviously though blogging, but it was through Pay It Forward where Krys was the lucky recipient of my package when I lived in Scotland that we stayed in touch albeit it though social networking.  

Krys originally used to blog  at Two Vegan Boys, a blog dedicated to her two boys and their vegan eats and following their adventurous exploits.  Its was not a fancy blog, but down to earth, honest and genuine.  She recently started blogging at Dine In Not Out and shares her love for gardening, growing vegetables and of course cooking and baking. 

Over the years, I 've seen variations these savoury chickpea cakes often described as vegan crustless 'quiches' many many times, but I've not been that tempted to get up and make it, even when I have specifically asked for the recipe, but a few days back that was to change.  I actually made these yesterday and they pretty much were all gone, except for these two. 

Once you have made the chickpea batter and poured them into muffin moulds or small tins, you can top them off with whatever vegetable you wish, here I used broccoli florets from the garden.  D even enjoyed them, I thought he would find them much of a muchness and too dense, but he actually liked them a lot, so I will definitely be making them again, but with different filling and they will certainly be enjoyed throughout the day, not just for breakfast.  Thank you Krys for actually getting me motivated to make these tasty and filling morsels.
