Ingredients
- 15 oz can chickpeas drained and rinsed
- ½ cup almond butter or peanut butter
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup coconut sugar
- ¼ cup almond flour
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- ¼ cup dairy free chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Add chickpeas, nut butter, cocoa powder, maple syrup, coconut sugar, almond flour, vanilla extract, baking powder and salt in a food processor.
- Process in food processor until smooth. You may need to stop and scrape the sides down to combine completely. Note: If you'd like to add chocolate chips to the batter add about half of the ¼ cup of chocolate chips at this time. Pulse 2 or three times to combine. Don't over pulse or the chocolate chips will be broken into smaller pieces.
- Line 8 x 8 inch baking pan with parchment paper. Scoop batter out of food processor. It will be a thick consistency. Evenly spread the batter over the baking pan using a spatula. Sprinkle chocolate chips over top. Bake in preheated oven at 350 F for 20-25 minutes.
- Remove from oven. Allow to cool completely in pan. When cool, gently pull sides of parchment paper to remove the brownies from the pan. Cut into about 2 ½ inch squares.
