Did you know cookie dough can be made from beans? Now don’t prejudge! No one will ever believe that these delectable brownies are made with beans! Yes, they are high in fiber and protein but also high in taste. These no-bake treats will be asked to be made over and over again!

Each layer is tastier than the next. First, the rich brownie layer could be an entire recipe all on its own! A combination of dates, oat flour and cocoa powder gives the most chewy texture and no baking required.

A little tip when pressing this layer into the pan…First use parchment paper! It’s going to be easier to lift your finished brownies out of the pan if you do this. Second, it will take some muscle to spread the brownie layer evenly. So don’t give up, it will spread eventually. Just keep at it!

The middle cookie dough layer is smooth and creamy. Thanks to the chickpeas and nut butter. (You could actually make an extra batch of this to keep on hand as a raw edible cookie dough!) This layer is also what gives us that added fiber and protein. While the little chocolate chips keep it disguised as cookie dough!

Then that top layer couldn’t get any simpler. Chocolate and coconut oil melted together for a shiny frosting!  

You might be thinking, “this recipe is too involved” but here’s the thing. Making a dessert from scratch with limited processed ingredients, sometimes is more work. But I believe that’s what makes it that much more satisfying and delicious! 

Please leave me  a comment or review below and let me know what you think, after making it!
