Tips:

  • Use canned chickpeas: Canned chickpeas are a convenient and affordable option. Be sure to rinse and drain them thoroughly before using.
  • Don't over-blend the chickpeas: You want the brownies to have a fudgy texture, so don't over-blend the chickpeas. A few small chunks are okay.
  • Use a good quality cocoa powder: The cocoa powder is one of the most important ingredients in these brownies, so be sure to use a good quality one.
  • Don't over-bake the brownies: The brownies are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them: This will help them to hold their shape.

Conclusion:

These chocolate chickpea brownies are a delicious and healthy treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are fudgy, moist, and packed with chocolate flavor. Plus, they are made with wholesome ingredients like chickpeas, oats, and almond butter. So, next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give these chocolate chickpea brownies a try.
