Step 1

Preheat oven to 375F (190C). Line a 9x5-inch (22.5 x 12.5 cm) loaf pan with parchment paper; grease or spray the exposed sides.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

Slowly pour the seltzer down the side of the bowl (to prevent a lot of foaming); add the olive oil and stir until combined. Immediately pour into prepared baking pan.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes until risen, golden brown and a skewer inserted near the center comes out clean.

Step 5

Let cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes; remove from pan. Cool completely before slicing.
