Instructions

  • Pulse the cooked chickpeas in a food processor until coarse and just beginning to come together. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, baking powder, flour, and milk until a thick batter forms. Do not overmix —some lumps are fine. Stir in the salt, cayenne, smoked paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder, then gently fold in the chickpeas and gouda until just combined.
  • Spoon small portions of batter (about the size of a half dollar) into 350°F oil and fry until golden brown and the beignets float.
