Directions
Chickpea and Apricot Muffins, Chickpeas and apricots: now those are healthy ingredients in a muffin! This recipe was emailed to me from the Simply Great Meals Recipe Club I haven’t yet made it but it caught my attention because I was impressed by the healthy ingredients, particularly the inclusion of chickpeas and from a search on Zaar I couldn’t find any muffin recipes containing chickpeas , What a great idea! I love the fact that these contain chickpeas I made them for my daughters playgroup and all the kids ate them up no problems, lovely flavour in these!, Good taste, weird texture (melt in your mouth) but very tasty and a lot of protein, great breakfast for a vegetarian, specially if made with whole wheat flour

Note: in Step 6, the Recipe Specified 12 1/2 Inch Muffin Cups but Then Said That the Recipe Made 15 Muffins, So You May Find That There Is Enough Mixture For 15 not 12 Muffins. I've Specified 12 For the Sake of Consistency. Please Clarify This Point If You Make and Review This Recipe Before I Make It. Once I Know, I'll Get the Yield Corrected If the Mixture Is Indeed Sufficient For 15 Muffins. |
