Collagen Beauty Chickpea Brownies

The humble chickpea is the dark horse of this ooey gooey protein packed brownie. Not only do they contribute to the fudgeyness of this treat, but also make this snack highly nutritious. With protein to help tie us over between meals, stabilise blood sugar levels along with fibre for gut bacteria nourishment. The best part is they almost go undetected, we dare you to make them for someone you love to see if they can guess the secret nutritional powerhouse ingredient, brownie points for them if they can guess it.
