Protein Brownie Bars
5 steps
Prep:10minCook:50min
Chickpea brownies, my original protein based dessert, that I think I have refined to near perfection. These bars are a great protein and fiber packed snack to take on the go. They're much less sweet than traditional brownies, as they're more of a baked protein bar, but I personally prefer the almond and banana taste that these provide. Don't count out the beans until you try them!
