High Fibre Choc Cookies

High Fibre Choc Cookies

These cookies are loaded with extra fibre and protein thanks to their secret weapon... chickpeas! I love experimental baking with vegetables and this snack combines the delicious and feel-good taste of dark chocolate and sweet currents, with the crumbly texture of chickpeas. 


These are "better" that your standard choc chip cookie, but if you are looking for ways to add legumes in your life, this recipe could be for you
