This Vegan Buffalo Chickpea Pizza is loaded with nutritious toppings, mouth-watering flavour and a creamy dairy-free garlic sauce that will make you forget it's plant-based!
I don't think there's a person in this world that doesn't like pizza! It's one of those meals that's a definite crowd-pleaser. The topping options are endless, and when making your own, you can add as much or as little as you wish.
Making homemade pizza is easy, simple, and in my opinion, the best way to do pizza! Mainly because you can load up on the best part, the toppings! Plus, by making your own, you know exactly what's in the crust and sauce and where your produce or meat came from.
In our house, this Buffalo Chickpea Pizza is made on repeat! I love it because I can indulge without feeling heavy, crampy and bloated, much like a regular cheesy, glutenous pizza would cause me to feel. This pizza is not only gluten-free but grain-free, dairy-free and vegan! It's loaded with nutritious toppings, packed with flavour and features a dreamy garlic sauce that makes you forget cheese ever even existed. Not to mention, the flatbread crust is to die for!
