Fudgy Hot chocolate chickpea brownies
These brownies are a fun turn on your favourite warming drink. They are vegan and contain a secret ingredient- chickpeas!
Ingredients
- 1 Can chickpeas 240g drained
- 80 ml (1/3 cup) almondmilk unsweetened
- 80 g almondbutter
- 100 g date syrup *
- 2 Tbsp (20g) coconut sugar **
- 40 g cacao
- 40 g almond flour ***
- 1 Tsp baking powder
- 1/2 Tsp baking soda
- 1 Tbsp ground flaxseeds
- 1 heaped Tsp cinnamon
- 25 g vegan/vegetarian mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Preaheat oven to 200C.
- Mix flaxseeds with 3 Tbsp of water and let sit for 10 minutes. Meanwhile prepare a baking tin or brownie pan by slightly greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
- In a blender or food processor blend chickpeas, almondbutter, almondmilk, sugar and syrup until a smooth consistency forms.
- Add the remaining ingredients EXCEPT the marshmallows and blend again to combine everything well.
- Spread out the batter evenly in the prepared form and sprinkle the marshmallows on top. Push them down gently and bake the brownies in the oven for 20-25 minutes.
- Let cool COMPLETELY before slicing (important step, as the brownies could fall apart easily. Waiting might be hard, but patience is a real key here!). Enjoy!
