Um, yes. Absolutely, I will eat the whole pan of these. Brownies made from chickpeas. No flour. Pretty neat. There are oats in them. And almond butter. And healthy stuff like that. Okay, and hear me out on this. They are obviously desserts. But. I also ate it for breakfast one day. Is that too crazy? No, it is not, given the ingredient list. Do you like health versions of treats like this? Or prefer to eat either straight up true vegetables or just actual desserts?
