Gram flour recipies?

I bought (by mistake) a bag of gram (chickpea) flour, and now I have no idea what to do with it! I bake a lot but the fact that it is gluten free makes me nervous. Short of making a million chapattis, what can I make?

I actually avoid "gf flour mixes" that are largely/mainly bean flour, because of that bitter/metallic thing. Not just chickpea/gram flour, but fava bean flour, black bean flour, whatever. It works fine in lots of contexts--om nom nom pakoras, etc--but trying to make western baked goods from it just doesn't taste right.
