The BEST healthy, gooey brownie recipe EVER!!
These are the BEST brownies ever!! I am not even kidding around. They are so fudgy and chocolatey. And the best part? They are HEALTHY!! But you can’t even tell. Want to know why I know? Well they passed the infamous brother and dad test. To all my healthy bakers out there, I think you know what I am talking about. Getting praise from those two means one thing: they must be really REALLY good and tasty! Because they do not like eating “healthy” desserts. Trust me on this one.
These fudgy chickpea brownies taste as good as they look. Promise. Every bite is heaven. The soft and gooey inside with the crunch from the chocolate chips is out of this world. This is my favorite brownie recipe.
So what’s the big hype around baking with chickpeas these days?
I love baking with chickpeas. You’ll see very soon. They create a very soft, fudgy texture. And, best of all, you CANNOT even taste them. I promise. I refuse to eat desserts that taste like vegetables or have no sweetness to them. If you are going to enjoy a sweet treat, do it right!
Ingredients you’ll need to make these amazing brownies
You’ll need a few ingredients to get this recipe going! But you know me, I am all about simplicity and ease, so don’t worry, you won’t need to go to the supermarket and buy a lot of expensive baking ingredients. This lists is really simple:
- Canned chickpeas
- Almond butter
- Maple syrup
- Vanilla extract
- Coconut sugar
- Coconut flour – you can easily substitute this with almond flour as well!
- Almond flour
- Cocoa powder
- Baking powder
- Salt
- Chocolate chips
How to store this delicious vegan treat?
These super fudgy brownies are a family favorite! They only last a few hours in my kitchen before being devoured. But, for best results, store in a covered container for 3 -5 days at room temperature. You may freeze up to 2 months as well.

Notes

Posted at 00:50h, 13 JuneThese will definitely be one of my new go-to brownie recipes. Super fudgy (especially when still a little warm!), and the batter is delicious even raw, it’s tempting to skip baking altogether…
