I had two slices of this bread for a morning snack, one with a tablespoon of butter and the opposite with a tablespoon of peanut butter.

The restaurant used chickpeas and tossed in raisins, however these are a bit too carb-rich for me, so lupini beans changed the chickpeas and I forwent the raisins altogether. I’ll be posting a recipe for this quickly as a result of I’ve made it about six occasions within the final two weeks and I nonetheless actually take pleasure in it!
