Chickpea and Chocolate Clusters
These are a great nutritious snack/treat witih only two ingredients! Chickpeas are a great source of protein and fibre. This recipe is vegan, no added sugar, gluten free, nut free and dairy free. Next time I'm going to experiment and add some other ingredients, I think some dried cherries would be nice to add for a little sweetness :)

  2. 100 g cashews unchopped
  3. 1 1/2 cup coconut flakes
  4. 1/2 cup cacao nibs
  5. 1/4 cup maple syrup

  7. Bake for about 45 minutes.
  8. Cool completely. Add the dried cherries. Store in an air tight container.
