These muffins are super dense, flavorful and moist. They taste exactly like that cereal I used to eat as a kid, Cinnamon Toast Crunch except no refined sugar, hydrogenated oils, or weird chemicals.
They’re full of fiber, protein, and healthy fats from plant based sources for keeping blood sugar levels stable, satisfying hunger, and building or maintaining.
The base of these muffins are Garbanzo Beans also know as chickpeas.

Out of all the bean dessert recipes, I think this has to be my favorite. Something about the maple flavor mixed with coconut milk is so creamy, moist and french-toasty! These muffins can be enjoyed with a glass of nut milk, as a topping for your smoothie bowl, as quick breakfast on the go, or as an indulgent free dessert.
