  1. Thank you thank you thank you for this amazing recipe! My 2 year old has been on a bean craze and this is exactly what I have been looking for! I even made it a second time with garbanzo beans and as a filler with falafels- it was just as delicious!

    1. Ahh you are lucky. I have to smash and hide most of our beans for my toddler to eat. I'd love to try out your falafel recipe! I made one recently that I'll be posting soon but S. didn't go for it =( Hubby did though!
