Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups chickpea flour
  • 3 tbsp. cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 cup nut butter
  • 1 tsp. coconut oil or olive oil
  • maple syrup or honey
  • chocolate chips optional

Instructions
 

  • Take a big bowl and sieve the chickpea flour. This will get you rid of the unnecessary clumps of flour.
  • Pour the nut butter, coconut/olive oil and blend it well.
  • Add maple syrup/honey, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and vanilla extract to the batter.
  • Blend them all until your mixture becomes smooth and frothy. You may use a food processor to get the perfect smooth batter.
  • Once the batter is smooth, add chocolate chips and mix to spread them evenly.
  • The consistency of the batter should not be either flowy or stiff. It should have a thick consistency just like cake batter.
  • Preheat your oven to a temperature of 350 degrees.
  • Grease your baking pan so that you don’t end up with half of your brownie sticking to the pan.
  • Pour the smooth batter into the pan evenly.
  • You may sprinkle some extra chocolate chips or sprinkles on the top of the batter.
  • Now it is ready to be baked. Put into the oven for 20-25 minutes.

Notes

  • Sieve the chickpea flour to get rid of clumps. Clumpy chickpea flour is the worst ingredient to make your biscuits.
  • If you feel the mixture is moist, just add some more chickpea flour. You need dough, not cake batter.
  • A tough dough may become flaky biscuits. So, if you find that you have ended up with a tough dough, slowly add a few teaspoons of water or milk and keep kneading it till it becomes soft.
  • The baking time plays a significant role in how soft or hard your brownie will be! If you have used a thick layer of brownie batter, increase the baking time to 30-35 minutes without any hesitation.
  • The batter may stiffen with time resulting in not such soft brownies. Therefore, make sure to spread it in the pan and bake it right away.
  • If you have got stiff brownies out of your oven: you still stand a chance to soften the chickpea brownie. Pour some drops of coconut oil or olive oil, add excess chocolate chips on the top and send the tray back to the oven for 5 minutes. You will have fixed the problem!
  • If your brownies do not satisfy your sweet tooth: just pour in some honey or maple syrup and let it rest for an hour.
  • If you are stuck with a stiff batter: just pour in some non-dairy milk along with a few drops of olive oil or coconut oil and process it well till you end up with a smooth batter.
  • If your chickpea brownies seem to be clumpy when out of the oven: just let it cool and refrigerate it for an hour.
