Chickpea Cookie Dough

Recipes

This chickpea cookie dough is the perfect post-workout snack. It’s high in protein and carbs, and it’s full of healthy stuff!

I know that the words “chickpea” and “cookie dough” don’t really seem to go together and my family still thinks that I’m crazy for combining chickpeas and banana. But they don’t know what they’re missing out on 🙂

I did my debut triathlon on a pink kid’s bike with training wheels at six years old. That’s where my love for the sport was born, but it took another decade until I figured out that I wanted to combine my passions for sports and writing.

Apple-Carrot Scones

Recipes

Scones are as versatile as you make them: This recipe turns apples and carrots into scones.

I first discovered scones on a trip to Ireland. For a year after that, fresh-baked scones were part of my family’s Sunday morning breakfast. Over the years, the recipe changed multiple times – resulting in this apple-carrot scone recipe!

Get creative!

If the plain scones are too boring for you… They are what you combine them with.

Here are some ideas on what to eat them with:

Nut butter
Banana
Homemade hazelnut spread
Dark chocolate
Homemade jam
Fruit chutney

My personal favorite is nut butter! 🙂

Try this!

I like baked goods best when they’re right out of the oven and still warm. But when they’re already cooled off, I like doing this:

Cut the scone in half.
Put it into the microwave for about 30 to 60 seconds.
Take a piece of dark chocolate and press it into the halves of the scone.
Wait a little until it has melted.
Use a knife or spoon to spread the dark chocolate over the whole half.
Top it with some slivered almonds (optional) and enjoy!
