Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cups chickpeas rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup almond butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F and line an 8x8 pan with parchment.
  2. Blend the chickpeas, cocoa, maple syrup, almond butter, vanilla, and baking soda until smooth.
  3. Stir in most of the chocolate chips and spread the thick batter into the pan.
  4. Scatter the remaining chips over the top.
  5. Bake for 25 to 28 minutes until the edges pull away slightly.
  6. Cool fully, then chill 30 minutes so they slice cleanly.

Notes

Blend until totally smooth so there's no grainy bean texture.
