Ingredients Method

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

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350 and spray 9x13 inch pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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!
