I probably should have given this a more appetising title, but at least chocolate is in the name, surely that’s enticing enough.
Just think of chickpea blondies and black bean brownies, as long as you’ve had an awesome experience with either of the aforementioned combinations, you’ll know that legumes can easily be incorporated into sweet dishes without bestowing too much of their flavour. If you’re a fan of a little savoury in your sweet then I’d suggest adding the tahini and if not opt for almond butter or peanut. Almond is probably the most crowd pleasing if I’m on honest, but since having made tahini based brownies I’m kind of obsessed with the combination.
A new product is being introduced to the Linwoods family. A hemp seed based multi boost. If you can’t get your hands on it just yet you can add some milled hemp seed to the mix!
The combination of hemp and chocolate is just a match made in heaven. Whenever I make chocolate oats it’s my go to for a plant based protein boost; purely because without a little added protein I find they also just don’t satisfy every element of my appetite!
I’m thinking a cookie dough dip of sorts is next on the agenda!
