Today I have a recipe that Im pretty pumped to share with all of you. Its a combination of a few recipes and any similarities to other recipes are coincidence as I promise I whipped it up on my own. After reading about Chocolate Covered Katies usage of chickpeas in baked goods, I was determined to create a winning recipe using the nutrient dense beans.
