I love this recipe because it is easy, delicious, adaptable and extremely healthy. Socca is made with garbanzo flour, which is made from chickpeas. It’s loaded with fiber and protein, low in fat and high in flavor. Now add to it these yummy toppings (or any veggie substitutions you prefer) and you’re building up the vitamins, minerals, and fiber that fuels your body and supports your immune system. Let’s start this spring focusing on eating delicious and healthy meals that nourish our bodies and minds!

Hello-I have Almond Flour in the house. Can this “nut” flour be a sub for a “bean” flour? TY
Great questions, Lisa. Unfortunately, almond flour will not work for this recipe.
