They held together pretty well. The flour was a good binder on its own, but you could also add an egg, or use flax seed meal (freshly ground) or even easier, chia seeds. Mix the seeds with a little water first and let the mixture stand for about 10 minutes, until it thickens, before adding to the chickpea mixture. Flax seeds and chia seeds are both very healthy and full of nutrients.
