Chickpea Brownies

Chickpea Brownies are a healthy alternative to regular brownies and are fudgy, chocolatey, and easy to make. They are made gluten free, dairy free and vegan.

So a few weekends ago, I made my chickpea blondies and they were such a hit with my family and friends that I knew I wanted to make a chocolate version.

I’m the biggest fan of any and everything chocolate, so when I realized I could make these just a little bit fudgier and a little bit more chocolate-y I was in.

I had to play around with the recipe a few times before I got it perfect, but it was worth the few rounds of “mess-ups” in order to get the perfect brownie.

This recipe calls for a food processor, but you could probably use a blender too. But the real question is, why haven’t you gotten a food processor yet? It’s by far my most favorite kitchen appliance, even more so than my Vitamix. I got mine for less than $40 and have used it for two years straight at least 3 times a week. No joke, this is my most used and most favorite appliance ever.
