A comforting lazy breakfast, that’s so straightforward to create that it suits all levels of cooking. If you’re dreaming about breakfast in bed, but your partner isn’t the best of cooks then these smokey chickpeas served on toast is a must see so they can surprise you with a lovingly made breakfast, which actually only takes minutes to make.
A luxury breakfast in bed is a fantasy to me, mainly because it never happens. I wish it did, but with an early riser for a toddler who’s bouncing off the walls as soon as his eyes open, I have no option but to get out of bed. Although the reality is I’d rather crawl under the duvet for a bit longer. Plus, there is the minor issue that Alfie isn’t the keenest of cooks, he’d happily put a cinnamon bun on a plate and make me some tea, but I highly doubt he would cook something from scratch.
Beans on toast are as simple as it gets for a cooked breakfast, it’s comforting and cosy – perfect for lazy breakfast in bed. I’ve upgraded it slightly and used chickpeas to make my version, it’s effortless but because it’s cooked from scratch you know that some effort went into creating it.
If you’re dreaming about breakfast in bed, but your partner isn’t the best of cooks then these easy smokey chickpeas served on toast is a must.
- 1 tin of chickpeas, drained
- 1 tin of chopped tomatoes
- 1 tbsp tomato puree

-
In a pan, heat the oil and sauté the onion for a few minutes before the adding the garlic and stir through.
-
Stir in the tomato puree and cook out for a few minutes until the pan is almost dry. Pour in the chopped tomatoes, drained chickpeas, and smoked paprika. Bring to a simmer the turn down the heat and cook for 8-10 minutes until the tomato sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper.

Toast the bread before serving the smoky chickpeas on top. Scatter with freshly chopped coriander. Enjoy!
I’m obsessed with interiors at the moment since moving into our new house, with it being such a blank canvas it’s so hard knowing where to start. After having some beautiful curtains made for our bedroom windows our attention has turned to luxurious bedding and accessories. I would love a new a bed in our master bedroom too as we’ve had ours for years and it doesn’t quite work with the look we want for the room. Something like the Italian Nubuck Winged High End Designer Bed would be fantastic for the boutique hotel look that I love and the Luxury Lusso Support Mattress would make it difficult to get out of bed in the morning.
Adding sweet and smokey paprika to the thick sauce really lifts the flavour of the tomatoes and is a simple addition that really changes the flavour of the dish. The chickpeas only take 15 minutes to make, which means that whatever your level of cooking skills you can whip up breakfast in bed for your loved one – go on surprise them!

Mmm what a gorgeous looking breakfast! Nothing beats breakfast in bed, does it. 🙂
My mum is a huge chickpea fan so I’ll have to show her this x
This breakfast looks so yummy! So different, I would have never if thought it myself but it does sound great and I will definitely give it ago X
Thank you. It’s a great alternative to beans on toast. ?
I’ve never tried chickpea before but I love the sound of the smoking and spice flavour of paprkia, it sounds like a grown up beans on toast!
It’s definitely a posher version!
I’ve never thought about having chickpeas on toast or for breakfast before, lovely recipe! Seems delicious! 🙂
Thank you!
On weekends my mummy would rather crawl under the duvets too! This looks like a tasty reason to get up! Must try more chickpeas in our food!
I think must of us would, but a tasty breakfast helps.
While I have never been the biggest fan of chickpeas, when the recipe is right — i get to enjoy a good bite or so. I remember a good dip I tried before and was surprised it is from chickpeas. Gotta try this one asap to see if I can add it to the ones I already favor.
Fab! Let me know how you get on.
CHickpeas and smoked paprika are BFFs for sure. This looks like a great breakfast (and lunch!) idea – whether or not one can cook! PS I’d be happy if a cinnamon bun appeared on my bedside table 😉
Hehe! It certainly suits all cooking levels and couldn’t be any easier. A cinnamon bun is a lovely treat I must admit. ?
Looks yummy although I think I’d save it for lunch 🙂
I think it would be great for dinner too.
This looks amazing! We never have time to make breakfast in the morning, but I definitely want to start!
