Ingredients
-
1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup maple syrup or honey
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
-
1/4 teaspoon Pink Himalayan salt
-
1/2 cup chocolate chips (level 3)
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease or line an 8x8-inch baking dish
In a food processor, combine the drained and rinsed chickpeas, cocoa powder, maple syrup or honey, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed
If desired, gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the brownies are set around the edges and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs
Allow the brownies to cool in the baking dish for at least 10-15 minutes before slicing into squares
Once cooled, serve these decadent Chickpea Chocolate Brownies and enjoy!

My family loves these brownies , I cooked for 40 minutes and cooled completely, made them firmer. Refrigerating helps, more like a lava cake, delicious . My husband heats them then adds whipped coconut cream.
I love these! They’re pretty guilty free but satisfy my sweet tooth craving. Ive made them 5 times now and cant get them to form up fresh out of the over- more of a hot baked pudding mixture. However, chill them in the fridge and they’re pretty sturdy. Recommend doing half honey, half maple syrup and mixing that with the warmed coconut oil.
Mine never cooked firm, has anyone successfully cooked the through?
So good. Took longer for mine to cook and letting cool is key. I used a 15 ounce can of chickpeas
What size can of chickpeas?
