Have you tried baking with chickpea flour? It acts much like white flour with a near similar texture. Unlike traditional white flour, though, chickpea flour is more nutrient dense, naturally gluten free and higher in protein. It’s also inexpensive compared to many other alternative flours. Win-win!
