I didn't think I could pull this off but I'm so happy I did. I'd chill it longer than it says though to keep it from breaking apart. So good though!

They were falling apart when forming into patties. I refrigerated for about 2 hours, had to add flour afterwards. Baked them at 325°f for 28 min. Should have flipped halfway through. Tastes good, I added crushed red pepper for a bit of a kick. Made 9 small patties w/ half cup dried chickpeas.

Tastes good. Most balls came out. But there was a lot of moisture when trying to roll them. So I had to shape them in a paper towel first. I’m wondering if some time with the chick peaks drained would solve that???
