I love these biscuits! Who knew that you could make yummy grain-free biscuits out of white beans? Well, I recently discovered you can. These Grain Free Double Chocolate Bean Biscuits are quick to make, very high in protein, from the beans and nuts and they make a generous batch. My girls gave these the thumbs up for school lunches.
