Our cookie dough hummus was such a hit! Everyone is so excited about this new, sweet way to enjoy hummus. This recipe is so versatile that it also can be used as frosting. That is what we’re going to use to top our Quinoa Brownies today!

These brownies are gluten free, high in protein and include a vegan option. They are packed with fiber and are a guilt-free way to indulge in ‘cakey-chocolate.’

I didn’t make this recipe overly sweet because I find with the cookie dough hummus frosting it is perfectly sweet enough. If you prefer a sweeter brownie feel free to add more agave, honey or stevia.

Hope you enjoy these brownies as much as we did!
