"We all know that I love beans, so why not have them in a dessert? This chickpea cookie dough is healthier, gluten-free and incredibly addictive. Rest assured; you cannot taste the chickpeas. They just give it an irresistibly fudgy consistency while also adding some plant protein." - Chloe Wheatland
