USA Pulses Brings Nutritious Monsoon Baking to the Table with Chocolate Chickpea Brownies and Protein-Rich Multigrain Cookies

Naturally rich in plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and essential nutrients, USA Pulses enhance everyday recipes without compromising on flavor. The featured creations include Chocolate Chickpea Brownies and Protein-Rich Multigrain Cookies, both developed by Chef Tushar Dhingra using roasted USA Chickpea Flour.

The Chocolate Chickpea Brownie recipe combines 170 grams of unsalted butter, 250 grams of breakfast sugar, 180 grams of 54 percent dark chocolate, 63 grams of 35 percent milk chocolate, 60 grams of flour, 40 grams of roasted USA Chickpea Flour, 30 grams of cocoa powder, 5 millilitres of vanilla extract, and three eggs. The preparation begins by preheating the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. The chocolates are melted with butter before sugar is whisked into the warm mixture. Eggs are added individually, followed by vanilla extract. Flour, roasted USA Chickpea Flour, and cocoa powder are sifted together and folded into the wet mixture. The batter is poured into a lined baking pan and baked for 25 to 30 minutes before being cooled completely and sliced. The brownies are recommended to be served with a hot cup of coffee or masala tea during the rainy season.

The Protein-Rich Multigrain Cookies are prepared using 200 grams of jaggery powder, 150 grams of flour, 250 grams of USA Chickpea Flour, 250 grams of unsalted butter, 170 grams of condensed milk, 5 grams of baking soda, 10 millilitres of vanilla extract, 150 grams of multigrain seeds, and 35 grams of dried cranberries. The oven is preheated to 170 degrees Celsius before butter and jaggery are creamed until fluffy. Condensed milk and vanilla extract are then added. Flour, USA Chickpea Flour, and baking soda are sifted together before being combined with the wet ingredients. Multigrain seeds and dried cranberries are folded into the mixture, which is shaped into cookies on a lined baking tray and baked for 12 to 15 minutes. After cooling, the cookies can be stored in an airtight container and enjoyed with warm tea as a nutritious snack throughout the monsoon season.
