Fudgy guilt free chickpea brownies

What can be better than a dessert that is in the same time tasty, decadent, healthy and guilt free?
With these brownies you eat your dessert and a healthy portion or your legumes in the same time😊
They are also oil free for added goodness 😊
I know that usual people use black beans for brownies, but I LOVE chickpeas, and I couldn't let them out from my desserts either.
You cannot taste the chickpeas at all, and these brownies are really fudgy, decadent, moist and they hit the spot when you want something sweet.
Ok, even now, when I'm writing this, I'm salivating 😁
Enough of the description, let's go to the recipe now!


Ingredients:
- 350 g (2 cups) chickpeas
- 50 g (1/2 cup) cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 125 g (1/2 cup) peanut butter
- 60 g (1/2 cup) oat flour (or oat flakes ground into flour)
- 2 flax eggs (2 tbsp ground flax seeds + 6 tbsp water)
- 200 g (1/2 cup) agave syrup or maple syrup BUT if you like your foods sweeter you can add 3/4 of a cup or even 1 cup if you prefer your brownies really sweet 😊
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 60 ml (¼ cup) plant milk of choice


Method:

Preheat oven to medium-high heat (190 C or 350 F). Combine all ingredients and blend until completely smooth. Really blend well. (A blender can work if you absolutely must, but the texture —and even the taste — will be much better in a food processor)
Pour into a pan lined with parchment paper. Optional: sprinkle extra chocolate chips over the top. Cook the for 15-20 minutes, then let cool at least 10 minutes before trying to cut. If they still look a bit undercooked, you can place them in the fridge overnight and they will magically firm up! Makes 9-12 brownies. 
If you make this recipe, don’t forget to leave a review! 
The trick with these: serve them first, and then reveal the secret ingredient. 




Substitutions:
Nut butter of choice instead of peanut butter. I don't recommend tahini, because it can be a little bit bitter, but I really recommend sunflower seeds butter, almond butter or cashew butter
Carob powder instead of unsweetened cocoa powder
150 sugar instead of agave, if you use granulated (brown or white sugar)

Ingrediente

- 350 g (2 căni) năut

- 50 g (1/2 cană) pudră de cacao (neîndulcită)

- 125 g (1/2 cană) unt de arahide

- 60 g (1/2 cană) făină de ovăz (sau fulgi de ovăz măcinați în făină)

- 2 „oua” de in (2 linguri de semințe de in măcinate + 6 linguri de apă)

- 200 g (1/2 cană) sirop de agave sau sirop de arțar DAR dacă îți plac alimentele mai dulci poți adăuga 3/4 de cană sau chiar 1 cană dacă preferi un brownie foarte dulce 😊

- 2 lingurițe extract de vanilie

- 1 linguriță praf de copt

- 1/4 linguriță sare

- 60 ml (¼ cană) lapte vegetal la alegere

 


Metodă:

Preîncălziți cuptorul la foc mediu-mare (190º C sau 350º F).

Combinați toate ingredientele și amestecați până la omogenizare completă. Asigurață-vă ca blenduiți foarte, foarte bine. (Un blender poate funcționa dacă este neapărat necesar, dar textura – și chiar gustul – va fi mult mai bună într-un robot de bucătărie).

Se toarnă intr-o tavă tapetată cu hartie de copt. Opțional: presărați deasupra bucăți de ciocolată. Gatiti 20-30 de minute la 190º C, apoi lasati sa se raceasca cel putin 10 minute inainte de a incerca sa o taiati. Daca tot par prea putin gatite, le poti pune la frigider peste noapte si se vor intari ca prin magie! Face 9-12 brownies.

Trucul cu acestea: servește-le mai întâi și apoi dezvăluie ingredientul secret.


Substituții:

Unt de nuci sau semințe la alegere în loc de unt de arahide. Nu recomand tahini, pentru că poate fi puțin amar, dar chiar recomand untul din semințe de floarea soarelui, migdale sau caju.

Pudră de roșcove în loc de pudră de cacao neîndulcită

150 de zahăr în loc de agave, dacă folosești granulat (zahăr brun sau alb)
