Chickpea Chocolate Brownies – “Chick”olate Brownies

March 25, 2023 By Laura Walsh

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

chickpea chocolate brownies dessertChickpea Brownies are perfect for a Plant-based Diet

Fall in love with these chewy, dark chocolate brownies.
You’ll never guess the secret ingredient – chickpeas.

Hard to believe but they make these brownies soft and moist.
They are a great dessert idea for a plant-based diet too!

I used chickpea flour in this recipe but you can use almond flour as a sub. Chickpea flour has fewer calories, less fat, and more protein.

These fudge brownies are a good source of both protein and fiber! You’ll get 6g of protein and 4 g of fiber in each yummy brownie! Plus, they are under 200 calories.

You can sub out your favorite nut butter such as almond or cashew butter for the peanut butter in the recipe.

Enjoy.
Laura.
