Homemade sauerkraut filled chickpea flour ravioli in seconds! Mix, roll, cut, stuff, boil! The simplicity of a gluten-free, grain-free, nut-free, and vegan dinner recipe that’s healthy and flavorful with the saltiness of sauerkraut and sweet spice of an applesauce topping!
That’s right! It’s like homemade Banza! But this is taken a whole step further. Once you see just how easy it is to make your own chickpea flour pasta, you’ll realize why there is such a craze around it! It fits almost every diet, is protein packed and healthy in all ways! Plus I’m packing these little pasta packs with the greatest belly healing fermented food, sauerkraut!
MY LATEST VIDEOSI’ve had homemade pasta on my recipe bucket list for the longest time! One of the first things on there (besides bagels!) These are actually a recent creation too, so it took me THIS long to try making them! At first I was just going to shape them and not stuff, but I felt stuffing them and make them dumpling/ravioli-like was more special 😉
Then the conundrum or a “sauce”. I felt the same way about the gnocchi I made. What to top it with?! This is such an important (and difficult) decision! The sauce can make or break a recipe. Since I was krauting it up, I looked up flavors that go well with the cabbage. I saw tons of pork recipes (ew), but also apple! The salty and sweet sounded like a good plan, but I wouldn’t just leave it at plain applesauce either!
Before we get to the sauce, let’s talk dough! For some reason I came away with battle wounds from this recipe. Both my thumb knuckles (knuckle closest to the wrist), had little circle sized scraps on them. I didn’t notice it until that night, but I’m assuming it was form the rolling pin? I’m not sure, but I digress! You’ll be fine 😉
So you simple make the dough by mixing chickpea flour, psyllium husk, and water together. Then you roll it out (it’s a bit tough) as flat as possible. The take a small glass and make your “circle” rounds. Re-roll out the dough as needed until you get at least 8 rounds. Then you stuff one side with a bit our sauerkraut (I recommend Bubbies!) and fold the circle over, sealing it with some fancy fork marks 😉
The most fun part comes last. The boiling! (All good foods are boiled!) It literally takes about 90 seconds once you drop in the pasta to the boiling pot. The float up so quickly! Just scoop them out and place them on a paper towel to drain and then plate! Well, you also need to simply mix up your sauce and drizzle that over too! Some savory, caraway, onion, dijon are mixed into some applesauce, and bam! You are done!
This is a small batch, for 2 (you and a date) or maybe you mom for mother’s day which is coming up! You can easily double or triple this and even freeze them to have on hand at any time! I actually ate this dish reheated and it was delicious! (That’s the power of the “pea”). Now that you’re dying for the recipe, here you go!
Sauerkraut Chickpea Flour Ravioli + Spiced Applesauce
- 1 Cup Chickpea Flour
- 1 TB Psyllium Husk Powder
- ¼ Cup Water
- ½ Cup Sauerkraut
- For the Sauce:
- ½ Cup Unsweetened Applesauce
- ½ Tsp Summer Savory
- ½ Tsp Caraway Seeds
- ¼ Tsp Onion Powder
- ¼ Tsp Dijon Mustard
- Fresh Parsley (for serving)
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chickpea flour, psyllium, and water. Mix together until the water is absorbed, then knead with your hands and form a ball.
- On a chickpea floured surface, roll out the dough as flat as possible.
- Cut 8 (mine were 2½in or so) round with the of of a drinking glass and peel away excess dough which you can roll out again.
- Now, lightly reflour the dough rounds and roll each on out even flatter.
- WIth each flat oval shape round, place about 1-2 tsp of sauerkraut on one half of the oval, then fold it over and seal the edges using the back prongs of a fork.
- Boil a large pot of water on the stove and then place the ravioli gently into the boiling water (all 8 should be fine at once, but you can do 2 batches if your pot is smaller).
- After about 90 seconds, once the ravioli float to the top, remove them with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel to drain.
- To make the sauce, simple mix together the applesauce, spices, and dijon.
- Plate the ravioli, top with the spiced applesauce, and garnish with fresh parsley if desired!
And above is a simple image to show you the process 😉 I hope you give these a try! Even easier than the bagels! I see many more homemade pasta recipes on the horizon! If you have that chickpea flour on hand (which you should. It’s a pantry staple!), then this is what I wan to see on you dinner table tonight! We really need to start a chickpea pasta revolution! Make it worldwide!
So tell me:
+ Have you ever made your own pasta?
+ Favorite ‘krout brand? I’m a die-hard Bubbies girl! (But I haven’t really tried many others…)

Hi there! I’m totally making these next week! What could I substitute for psyllium husk powder if I don’t have any? Thanks!!
I wouldn’t sub that. You could give Ener-G Egg replacer a try.
these just look so interesting. I’ve been trying to find alternative ways to eat sauerkraut. Going to have to give these a shot. thanks!
You’ll love it! The flavors all work so well together!
These look incredible !!, I have never tried making ravioli, but I love your idea using chickpea flour!
Super easy to make!!! Chickpea flour just makes them rock!
Interesting, I’ve only ever made pasta with regular flour. I haven’t tried making ravioli yet, I need to though. So many fun recipes to try.
Well this is a gluten-free blog 🙂
This sounds Fabulous!!! I can’t wait to try it, Pinned & Yummed 🙂
Thank you!
Love these! Especially the kraut!
Thanks!
I’m very intrigued by these flavors! Pinned!
I hope you give it a try!
Ravioli…really! This is one item on my food making bucket list. The recipe looks delish!
Perfect! Well it was for me too, and now you need to cross it off your list and make them!
I’ve never cooked with chickpea flower before but I just ordered some from Amazon! Looking forward to making pakoras for the first time next weekend!
You will love it!
Interesting, the ravioli looks great.
They are mind-blowingly delicious!
Wowzers! These look great. Very unique (and totally delicious) stuffing! And good job going with apple instead of pork haha. Oh and I LOVE your rolling pin! It’s so cute =)
Thank you! That rolling pin takes prime location in my kitchen 🙂 I love using it!
Definitely sounds like some interesting flavors going on there! The applesauce sounds like it’d go perfectly, and kraut’s great for gut health too. 🙂
Yes! Exactly why I love the kraut!
This. Just this. I love coming here and checking out your recipes, there is always something unique, different, an item with a Twist. I love sauerkraut, apples, and of course pasta. But I never thought about putting them all in one item. I love how creative you are with your food, it’s Sparks a little bit more fun in the kitchen for us.
You’ve gotta try this one Nikki!
Hooray for chickpea flour raviolis ! Love that you filled them fermented food like sauerkraut! Double win! Pinning for later and stumbleing it for others to see!
All yummy goodness! Thanks Ilka!
How very interesting this recipe is. Nice way to eat sauerkraut.
Tweeted and stumbled
Makes it even better 😉
This is not ravioli, its a polish dish called pierogi. Sauerkraut pierogi is one of our traditional dishes and i am actually offended that you call this dish ravioli, please stop, its stupid and annoying.
No, actually they’re made with a filling of potato and cheese.
You make this look so easy, I’m going to have to try it!
It is!!
This is an interesting recipe! My husband loves sauerkraut and I am gluten free.. hmm.. sounds like something we should try. Pinning this one for a day when I’m feeling energetic! Not even sure if I still have a rolling pin..
Totally! You will both love it! And perfect recipe just for 2!
Hi Rebecca,
Wow this sounds great and since we make our own homemade sauerkraut this might be feasible for me to make & eat. I know my husband would love it since he loves anything with sauerkraut. Pinned & tweeted!
That’s perfect! I need to try making my own!
It’s pierogi!!! Something I thought I’d never be able to eat again! Can’t wait to make these. Thank you!
Enjoy!
These look ridiculously fantastic! Pinned for later!
Thank you, friend!
Homemade pasta, kraut, applesauce. Things I absolutely love to eat. I can almost feel those raviolis bursting in my mouth and the flavors oozing. I am SO going to try this recipe next time i make a batch of apple sauce. Thank you.
Bahahaha! Yes!!! They really are like little parcels of joy 😉
This is such a unique recipe. I love sauerkraut. Can’t wait to try!
Me too! Thank you!
OMG! Is it real??? I haven’t even tried anything like this before, but I am so sure that this is going to be my new favourite food! Simply amazing ♥︎
Get cooking 😉 xo
I’ve never heard of chickpea flour so I’m now on the lookout! I always look forward to your delicious recipes.
You’re in for a treat!
Ah yum! I would never ever have thought to put sauerkraut into ravioli – but now I totally have to. I am so so obsessed with sauerkraut, but tend to be a ‘eat it from the jar’ kinda person – need to change that now 🙂
Hahaha, well I am too, but I thought it was time to use it for something a little “fancier” 😉
I’ve never made my own pasta but it’s definitely on my ‘things to make one day’ list. This looks amazing tho!
Thank you Giselle!!
It’s so super easy too!
I craved sauerkraut when I was pregnant. It was the only time I craved it. So random! Thankfully I know that the craving I’m having for your ravioli is because of your mouthwatering pictures. PHEW!
Sure about that 😉 Hahahaha!
I’ve been going crazy with the kruat the last few weeks (more than usual!)
It would be a miracle. 🙂
You make your own ravioli you are amazing and I love that rolling pin !!
Haha, thank you!
I grew up with sauerkraut pierogis at nearly every extended family get together. These totally remind me of that! And that sauce sounds so scrumptious too! The sauce makes the meal, so yes, an important decision. 🙂
I remember eating pierogies ALL the time too….that’s why a semi-mock up needed to happen!
The sauce 😉 It really can make or break!
I agree — the topping is an important and difficult decision 🙂 You did great with your option – what a nice combo! These look so easy to make and think of all the options! Nice!
Haha, yes! Thank you Patricia 🙂
I have never made my own pasta but have been dying to try! You make it look so easy. I would’ve never thought to put these two flavors together but you totally made it work. Looks delicious!
It is easy!!! Give it a go and you will be surprised by the ease (and taste!) xo
This is new to me:) but I have tasted ravioli! Looks great!
You’ll love it Uma!
How fun is this combo of flavors! I LOVE sauerkraut!
Me too! Thanks Lauren!
Interesting combo! I make gluten-free pasta a lot but I’ve never thought of using chickpea flour! Great idea thanks for sharing.
Well I knew how much I love chickpea pasta, so I had to make homemade!
I am totally intrigued by this flavour combination! So many good things on that plate!
It is a mouthful of yum!
I’ve got gram flour that’s been sitting in my kitchen cupboard for a while now, needing used up and this is an ideal recipe to do that. Delish!
Brilliant, thanks Rebecca! 🙂
I think so!!
Thanks Neil!
These look delicious! I would love to make these for my husband!
Date night dinner!
Ok, these are downright awesome! They look wonderful and I love the flavor profile. Btw, super cute rolling pin 🙂
Thank you so much Sonali! They are delish!!!
And thanks 😉 Haha, my new prized possession!
1) THAT ROLLING PIN! So adorable.
2) Love that you love Bubbies!
Haha, thank you Erica!! xoxo
This is such a great idea. I’ve been on a chickpea flour kick, so I have a whole bunch of it to try this. Love the recipe, and love your adorable rolling pin!
That’s perfect then!! I always make sure to have a bag or two on hand!
And thank you! Haha!
Oh this looks gorgeous – I would never think to add apple sauce to ravioli but it sounds amazing.
It’s for the krout!
I’m a fan of pretty much anything that stuffed and these bad boys don’t dissapoint. I just deemed this week chickpea week on my blog, this is a great recipe to keep me on track.
Haha, sounds good to me!
Oh my!! I love making chickpea flour ravioli! These look divine, and love that there is applesauce to go with it 🙂
A little somethin’ somthin’ to sweeten to deal 😉
Another gluten free dough feat, you are on a baking roll! Well sorta baking, or is this cooking, idk?? But they are so cute like little ravioli dumplings 🙂 And you should be proud of me, I have been eating sauerkraut on the regular lately so I even love the filling here! (Still can’t spell sauerkraut without spell checker though haha) Savory applesauce sounds pretty special too! This is all shades of creative 🙂
Ah! Keep eating it! I promise you will be reaping the krout benefits in no time! I can’t get enough (it’s like becoming the highlight of dinner time!) Bahahaha!
This is a fantastic recipe! You’re so amazing!! Love the little parcels and they’re filled with sauerkraut?? YUM!
I know right!!??? Parcels of krout can make anyone happy…I think 😉 xoxo
YUMM! Your pictures though…. It’s a drool fest over here!
Ahahaha! Thank you so much Olena!
First, that rolling pin is adorable!!!
I can’t say I have ever had or seen sauerkraut ravioli, but sounds interesting. I have only made homemade pasta a couple times but we have talked about getting a pasta maker multiple times to make our own noodles. The girls are pasta lovers so maybe that’s what we should get and do for Mother’s Day since the hubby will be traveling and they are worried and I said we would find something fun to do and go out.
Thank you!!!
Do it!!!! I always wanted a pasta maker, but I’m not sure it works well when you need the pasta to be gluten-free AND vegan!
This is such a cool recipe! I love kraut! Such a great idea to put it in ravioli.
Mmm, yea, it’s the best! Thank you!
OMG girl, I had no idea this was possible! I cannot wait to make my own gluten-free ravioli at home now. You’re the best!
Haha, you will become addicted 😉
I love the saurkraut filling! What a special savory treat.
Thank you Brianna! They are so good!
How I can I talk you into shipping me some of these frozen? Yum!
Best,
Chrystal
I totally would 😉 My own pasta business…good idea!
Ooooh!! So fancy 😛 This ravioli sounds amazingggg, I definitely have to try making my own chickpea pasta!!
Do it!!!! I’m kinda obsessed with making it homemade now!
Oh my goodness. I’ve never made ravioli before, but I LOVE it. And all these flavors… yum!
Got to give it a try, my friend!
Love kraut and love how creative this is! A winner for sure!
Yes! Krout for life!
Ravioli is always a good idea! Love that it’s made with chickpeas so it’s tasty AND healthy 🙂 ps I also love your rolling pin!
Just packin’ in the flavor and protein!
Hahaha! Thank you! My dad had it made for me 🙂
Incredibly creative recipe! Kraut and sauteed apples is a classic, and you have put a great twist on this!
They sure tasted like a classic 😉 Thanks Dorothy!
Wow how creative! I need to explore with chick pea flour more.
It is the best! One of my favorites!
This is great idea or what….. I should try soon using chickpea flour for my ravioli
It’s the best! And such a nice flavor!
Yay!! I have always wanted to try chickpea flour but never got round to it. I have the ingredients so why not give it a go today! I have some kimchi which might work well in place of the sauerkraut… mmmm. I’ll let you know how I get on 🙂
Get out that chickpea flour!!!
I totally support the kimchi! Go for it!
You HAVE to try Farmhouse Culture sauerkraut. It’s the bestttttt! (I actually have it on my snap from yesterday (charmcghie) haha!). Sauerkraut is so delicious. Great work with this recipe!
I’ve always wanted to….it’s just really expensive at my store and the package is a smaller amount than Bubbies so I always opt for the better ROI 😛
This is such a cool idea to make ravioli with chickpea flour! I’ve made ravioli before but never attempted a gluten-free version, and NEVER would have thought to try chickpea flour, but it certainly looks as though it worked perfectly! I’ve pinned this, I’ll definitely be making it <3
Awesome!!! I knew chickpea flour was a good choice since you can make anything from crackers to socca to pancakes with it, so I had high hopes homemade pasta would work easily!
These look incredible!! I’ve been all about chickpea flour lately AND fermented foods, so this is totally up my alley! Definitely pinning!
Yes!! Well that are 2 of the greatest things for our tummies 😉
Oh my goodness, this sounds incredible. WANT. 🙂
Thank you Courtney!
Your pictures add so much!
Okay, haha!
