Do you know brookies? A sweet marriage of brownies and cookies. I had never had one before this recipe but I agree they’re certainly fascinating to look at. Which is why I’m guessing they’re all over the internet.
I had a particularly rough day at work last week and brookies happened to come up in my feed as usual. I had recently perfected my chickpea brownies so I thought… the obvious.
Chickpea BROOKIES to save the day!
So how about I told you you could turn one can of garbanzo beans into these amazing things.
Oh yeah. The cookie layer does eventually get kinda soft but given the moisture from the brownie layer I’m guessing that happens to regular brookies as well.
I don’t know, like I said, never had a “conventional” one before. But these are dang GOOD so who cares.
Let me know if you give these a try!
