These are delicious! Even the non chickpea fans of the house are impressed. My 10 month old who hates food can’t get enough of them nor can I. These will be a regular in the freezer.
These are easy and achievable for a busy work night meal. The mix takes no time at all. Just shape and fry.
I serve as is with some salad or inside my Herb and Garlic Wraps or Spinach Wraps with salad and a little cheese or sweet chilli sauce.
These can be frozen once cooked and reheated too so make for a very quick meal. The kiddies didn’t mind these cold the next day in their lunchboxes either.

Just made these for lunch, love them! I’ve tried quite a few chickpea patties recipes and this one is the best by far and they are delicious on their own. Thanks for the recipe ๐
These were really good, ate them in a wrap with salad and mayo. The kids liked them too.
I can not believe how good these are hubby has asked for them so many times and he wasn’t even keen to try them when i suggested them. Huge hit thank you.
These are so yummy thank you hubby even likes them.
Awesome… Had an epic fail with another recipe from a thermie cookbook (won’t name it)… But these ones turned out perfect!!! Thanks ๐
These are great. Wasn’t sure what the kids would think but I had empty plates so they are a winner ๐
I thought I had chickpeas in the cupboard but didn’t, so I used Canneloni beans instead. They are delicious. Very, very good.
Made these last night, and I made 6 big ones rather than 15 small ones. My vegetarian hubby loved them! So easy too. Winning!
I made these yesterday for my 9 month old twins for lunch (then dinner, then lunch) and they loved them. Even my fussy seven year old tried them and asked for two!! I added in 180g tuna which upped the protein for the kids. Will put these in rotation!
