In Words of Megan – Baking Scientist “Beans may not be the first ingredient that comes to mind when thinking about sweets, but legumes can make shockingly delicious desserts. From the beloved black bean brownie to irresistible vegan chickpea cookie dough, your family and friends will never guess that the secret is BEANS! As a 🌱vegetarian I’ve been personally inspired to always look for foods that add healthy💪🏼protein to my diet as well as lots of fiber and vitamins. 🍪Made with oats, quinoa flour, and chickpeas, these cookies are full of protein and fiber. These superfoods combine in a simple drop cookie that bursts with yummy stuff—🍌bananas, dates, pumpkin seeds, and chocolate. I dare you to try eating just one of these powerful recovery treats! ”
