Tis’ the season for soup! I adore soup season. I really enjoy simple soups like a pureed butternut squash soup or just plain garden tomato.
When I’m in a hurry I will just pick up a locally made or organic boxed soup and add to it depending on how busy I am. One thing I miss with soup is a yummy dipping bread.
I wanted to create a dipping bread sweet like corn bread but made with only whole, natural, simple ingredients. Of course I turned to my beloved chickpeas.
If you are looking for a bread that is like what you buy in the store this recipe is not going to be for you. These corn bread bites are thick, moist and perfect for dipping. They will hold together but they will also crumble into your soup – and that to me is perfection.
I find these go amazing with our:
- Simple Vegan Chilli
- Lazy Low Carb Vegan Pasta
- Pumpkin Vegetable Curry
- Vegan Fiesta Salad
- Vegan Veggie “Ground Beef”
- Sundried Tomato and Basil Pasta
This recipe is best handled gently and to re-heat place your pre-cut squares into the oven and bake for 5-10 minutes at 350F.
This recipe is vegan, gluten free, corn free, grain free, high fiber, yeast free, dairy free, sweet, spicy and delicious.
