  1. Looks delicious but I don't understand the serving size. It says it serves 4 but the recipe states to form the mixture into 2 cakes and 2 cakes make a serving. Does the recipe serve 1, 2 or 4?

    1. Krissy, The chickpea cakes should be fine to freeze. I make bean burgers all the time and freeze. Just be sure to thaw in the fridge
      before cooking. 🙂
