Incredibly Healthy Vegan Gluten-Free Fudge Brownies – what more could you ask for? Can you believe the fact that you could eat a gooey brownie that’s actually healthier and VEGAN?! Oh and gluten-free too? I keep saying it, but it’s true – eating healthier can be as indulgent and delicious and eating junk. You just gotta cook things right!
Sweetened only with dates and a small amount of maple syrup.
Would you be grossed out if I told you that I have used chickpeas to make brownies?
DON’T BE! You cannot taste the chickpeas from this brownie recipe. It’s chocolatey and indulgent. It doesn’t taste of chickpeas, so don’t worry.
The chickpeas are there to add bulk, creaminess and fudginess. Oh, and some extras, like protein and fiber.
If you want a brownie with a bit more crunch, then leave them in the oven for a bit longer, but for me, there is nothing quite like a fudgy brownie with a soft and delectable texture.
Anyway! I hope I managed to convince you, that these brownies are incredible haha. 😀 Give them a go now!
