Gluten-free Falafels

Falafels are one of my favorite vegan dishes! They are just so delicious! I have made falafels by myself a couple of times, but now I have a recipe I am 100 % happy with. It is super easy and these Gluten-free Falafels taste as good as in restaurants!

I haven´t posted here on the blog for a while because I have been so busy. I started at University a couple of weeks ago and these first weeks have been quite hectic. Hoping that I will be able to post more often when I get used to my new schedule. I have got so many recipe requests from you guys, so I try to post them here as quickly as I can;)

These falafels don´t contain garlic or onion because I follow the low-FODMAP diet. If you don´t have IBS, feel free to add some onion and garlic into the recipe. I used oat flour in the recipe. You can replace it with gluten-free breadcrumbs or, for example, almond meal.

The recipe is very simple. There are less than ten ingredients and most of them are spices or herbsXD I love tahini, so added a little bit of that into this recipe. It gives these falafels a great flavor. There is cayenne pepper in the recipe, but you can replace it with chili if you don´t like that spicy foods. You can modify the recipe, so that it fits to your taste buds.

Big amounts of chickpeas contain FODMAPs, so I wouldn´t recommend eating a whole batch of these at once if you have IBS. I like to add a few into my salads or nourish bowls. These gluten-free Falafels taste great also with some hummus and a pita bread or in a wrap. Falafels are a great source of protein that everyone will love!
