Avocado chickpea pizza
Avocado chickpea pizzaIt doesn’t happen very often that a week passes without me making pizza lol. My latest addiction is this avocado chickpea pizza with vegan cheese! It’s the perfect combo of healthy fats, proteins, and carbs, plus it tastes super delicious. Don’t believe me? Try it out for yourself!
Buffalo chickpea pizza wasn’t enough
Buffalo chickpea pizza wasn’t enoughWell, I made a buffalo chickpea pizza before, you can check it out on my Instagram account. However, something was missing…. it was the avocado which made this pizza even yummier. It’s important to add the avocado AFTER cooking though because I made the experience that cooked avocado tastes weird (anyone else noticed this?). The sauce is a little bit spicy if you add hot sauce (e.g. Sriracha) but it can be left out, of course.

Gluten-free pizza crust
Gluten-free pizza crustYou can make this avocado chickpea pizza with any crust of choice but I would recommend my best gluten-free pizza crust. I use it for all my pizza recipes and it always turns out great. I often make a medium-sized pizza which will result in a thicker crust but this time I made a larger pizza, that’s why the crust turned out thinner and more crispy. It’s your choice, both variations taste amazing!
Avocado chickpea pizza with vegan cheese
Avocado chickpea pizza with vegan cheeseI always have to add my easy vegan cheese sauce since it makes all savory dishes (especially pizza!) even tastier. Feel free to add any other vegan cheese of choice.

I can’t have night shades, is there another sauce you have that doesn’t have tomatoes in it?

Hi Erica, you can leave out the tomato sauce and just use the vegan cheese sauce.

Hello Ela,
I just tried that recipe for the first time. I also used your pizza crust recipe for that.
It’s great ! It tastes so good. I even added some corn to the toppings.
I just noticed that the middle was a little soft compared to the crunchy crust. I guess I have to roll it a little thinner next time.Delicious recipe ela !
I am trying out your recipes recently and they are great.I’ll keep in touch 🙂

I saw this pizza on your sweet potato pizza crust post but it also had spinach on it and. I was just wondering when you would add the spinach? Do you cook it with the chickpeas or just throw it on right before throwing it in the oven with the chickpea mixture?

Hi Delyssa, I actually added it right before I turned off the oven. So I baked it only for a few minutes. 🙂
