Chickpea Brownies
Ingredients
- 2 15 oz cans garbanzo beans rinsed and drained
- 1 cup all natural smooth nut butter I like to use almond butter, but peanut butter works too
- ⅔ cup honey
- 4 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¾ + ⅓ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- sea salt
- chopped pecans optional
- non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 and spray 9x13 inch pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a food processor (or a really good blender) add all ingredients except chocolate chips and process until batter is smooth. Then stir in 2/3 cup of chocolate chips.
- Spread batter evenly in prepared pan then sprinkle the remaining 1/3 cup {or your desired amount} of chocolate chips on top {& pecans if using}. Bake for 25 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean and edges are starting to brown.
- As soon as you remove the brownies from the oven, sprinkle lightly with sea salt {this step really takes it to the next level}. Allow to cool for at least 20 minutes. Cut into squares and serve!
