There is truly nothing better than biting into a chewy, fudgy brownie. It's a taste that is almost guaranteed to put a smile on your face! But what if that chewy, fudgy brownie was packed with protein and fiber, to not only satisfy your taste buds but to also leave you feeling full and ready to tackle your day? My Double Fudge Chickpea Brownies are the not-so-traditional brownies that you know and love. They are packed with chocolate chips to keep them sweet, and a secret ingredient to keep them full of protein: chickpeas! Don't knock it until you try it, this recipe is truly one of my favorites and is even kid-approved, too!
Equipment
- 1 Food Processor I love this one by Cuisinart
Ingredients
- 1 15 Ounce Can Chickpeas drained and rinsed well
- ¾ Cup Peanut Butter or substitute any nut butter or sunflower seed butter
- ⅓ Cup Maple Syrup
- 3 Tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- ¼ Teaspoon Baking Powder
- ½ Teaspoon Baking Soda
- 3 Tablespoons Milk of Choice
- ½ Cup Chocolate Chips plus a few more to sprinkle on top
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 350 F.
- Next, open your can of chickpeas and drain and rinse them well. Don't forget to save the liquid - you can use it to make aquafaba!
- Once your chickpeas are rinsed, add them to a food processor along with your peanut butter, maple syrup, cocoa powder, vanilla, baking powder and baking soda.
- Pulse well, until your ingredients form a thick batter, then add in the milk and pulse again, until the batter is as smooth as possible.
- Next, add in your chocolate chips.
- Once your batter has formed, grease a 9x4 loaf pan (or a square 8x8 pan, for thinner brownies) and transfer your batter into it.
- Add your remaining chocolate chips on top.
- Bake your brownies for 30-35 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Once your brownies are done, let them cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Then slice, serve, and enjoy!
