kcalThese No-Fuss Fudgy Brownies are an absolute game-changer! Made with chickpeas and sweetened with honey, they’re surprisingly flourless, incredibly moist, and deliver that deep, rich chocolate satisfaction without any fuss.
Ingredients
1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
1/4 cup melted coconut oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chocolate chips, plus extra for sprinkling
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal. Lightly grease if desired.
- In a food processor, combine the rinsed chickpeas, honey, cocoa powder, almond milk, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt. Process until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. There should be no visible chickpea lumps.
- Stir in the 1/2 cup chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips over the top if desired.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs, but not wet batter. Be careful not to overbake, as they will continue to set as they cool.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang. This is crucial for fudgy texture!
- Cut into squares and enjoy your deliciously fudgy, flourless brownies.
Notes
- The Chickpea Secret: Don’t skimp on processing time! The key to truly fudgy, undetectable chickpea brownies is to blend the chickpeas until the batter is incredibly smooth and velvety. Any remaining lumps can lead to a slightly grainy texture.
- Cooling is Crucial: I know it’s hard to wait, but letting these brownies cool completely in the pan is essential for their fudgy texture. If you try to cut them warm, they might be too soft and fall apart. Patience truly is a virtue here!
- Sweetener Swap: If you prefer, you can experiment with maple syrup instead of honey for a slightly different flavor profile. Just note that maple syrup can be a bit runnier, so the texture might be slightly softer.
