INGREDIENTS

  • 15 oz can chickpeas
  • 2 – 3 tablespoons almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ¼ cup maple syrup (adjust to desired sweetness)
  • ½ cup nut butter of choice (cashew butter recommended)
  • ¼ cup cacao powder
  • ⅔ cup chocolate chunks

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Rinse and drain the chickpeas, removing the skins. Place the chickpeas in a high-powered food processor and blend until smooth.
  • With the food processor running, add the almond milk, vanilla, and maple syrup. Blend until creamy (about 2 minutes).
  • Stop the food processor and add the nut butter, then blend again until fully combined.
  • Add the cacao powder and blend until thick and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed (about 1 minute).
  • Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the chocolate chunks. Enjoy!

NOTES

  • Peeling the Chickpeas: To remove the skins, gently pinch each chickpea between your fingers, or rub a handful in a towel to release the skins. It’s a bit time-consuming but definitely worth it for the smooth texture!
  • Nut Butter: Any nut butter works, but cashew butter is ideal for its subtle flavor that complements the chocolate.
  • Storage: Store the brownie batter in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks. Let it soften slightly before enjoying.
