1
Preheat the oven to 180°C (160° fan) and line a baking tray with baking paper.
2
Blitz the oats in a blender or food processor until fine.
3
Drain the chickpeas over a bowl, reserving the liquid (aquafaba), then add the chickpeas to the blender or food processor with the blitzed oats, ½ a teaspoon of the onion powder, the garlic powder, cumin, salt and pepper and 5 tbsp of the aquafaba. Blitz until it forms a thick paste – with some chunks for texture.
4
Stir the breadcrumbs with the remaining ½ teaspoon of onion powder and place into a shallow dish.
5
Roll 1 tablespoon of the chickpea mixture into balls at a time, and shape into nuggets. Coat in breadcrumbs and place onto the baking tray. Repeat until all of the mixture is used

Bake for 20 minutes (they won’t darken much) and enjoy!
