  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

Brownie Batter

  • 1 15 Ounce Can Chickpeas (drained and rinsed well)
  • 3/4 Cup Peanut Butter (or substitute any nut butter or sunflower seed butter)
  • 1/3 Cup Maple Syrup
  • 3 Tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 2 Teaspoons Vanilla bean paste
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 3 Tablespoons Milk of Choice
  • 1/2 Cup Chocolate Chips
  • Additional Chocolate Chips for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F to prepare for baking the brownies.
  2. Drain and Rinse Chickpeas: Open the can of chickpeas and drain thoroughly. Rinse them well under cold water to remove any canning liquid. Save the liquid if you want to make aquafaba separately.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Place the rinsed chickpeas into a food processor. Add the peanut butter, maple syrup, unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla bean paste, baking powder, and baking soda.
  4. Pulse Ingredients: Pulse the mixture until it forms a thick batter. Then add the milk of your choice and pulse again until the batter is smooth and creamy.
  5. Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in 1/2 cup of chocolate chips into the batter for extra chocolate goodness.
  6. Prepare Baking Pan: Grease a 9×4 loaf pan or an 8×8 square pan with oil or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
  7. Transfer Batter and Add Toppings: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips evenly on top for a luscious chocolate crust.
  8. Bake: Bake the brownies for 30-35 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center—if it comes out clean, the brownies are ready.
  9. Cool and Slice: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing them into 12 servings. Serve and enjoy your delicious, fudgy chickpea brownies!

Notes

  • You can substitute peanut butter with any nut or seed butter of your choice, such as almond or sunflower seed butter.
  • Milk of choice can be dairy or plant-based like almond, oat, or soy milk according to your preference.
  • For an extra fudgy texture, do not overbake and keep an eye on the toothpick test.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • These brownies are gluten-free and vegetarian friendly.
