Yesterday, I hosted a 31 Gifts party. My girlfriend decided to sign up as a rep and sent me a text asking if I would host a party for her. Umm....OKAY!!!! I heart 31 bags - they are so practical and useful. And because this is my blog and I can do whatever I want, I'm totally going to shameless plug my party. lol. If you would like to place an order, here is the link:
Anyway.
I decided to make all of my guests test pilots for a new recipe that I wanted to try. (Don't worry...they thanked me later)
A few weeks ago I had a Vegan Mini Chocolate Chip Muffin that was to die for! It was made from garbanzo beans! I know...I couldn't believe it either. It just melted in my mouth and tasted like gooey cookie dough.
So...I decided that I wanted to make them. Fortunately, everybody loved them! Thank goodness...it could have been awkward if people were getting sick and spitting them out into my trash can.
The recipe came from Veg News (www.vegnews.com). Just in case you don't want to head over to their site, the recipe is below:

Now...just in case you are like me (a complete visual), here are a few pictures of my process. And really...it's okay to drool.
I don't have a food processor, so I used my blender

Waiting for the oven to preheat. I really should follow the directions.
Ta-da! Finished muffins!
Seriously...you should make yourself some. They are delicious in your mouth.
