During this time, we are at home and have a lot of canned beans, especially Gabenzo Beans or Chickpeas. I am totally in love with chickpeas and enjoy adding them into my salad, soup, or hummus dip. This time, I tried to add chickpeas into my banana cake. As a result, it is so flavorful and fluffy cake that is grain-free, gluten-free, and dairy-free. It is so easy to make by adding all of the ingredients in a blender, bake, and enjoy it with a cup of tea or coffee.
