Choc Chip Chickpea Cake

Choc Chip Chickpea Cake

I have tried many times before but have never quite managed to get a cakey texture in a high protein cake using actual chickpeas. Well, friends, we had a breakthrough.

This is a sugar free, protein cake (that I baked as a sheet cake), filled with SO much goodness, and the ultimate macros of peace. So yes, I don’t even want to call it a cake cause it’s more of a breakfast. It doesnt even register on the ‘treat’ scale.

Warning: May or may not contain pumpkin. i.e. definitely contains pumpkin.
