Incredibly Healthy Vegan Gluten-Free Fudge Brownies

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!

1x2x3x

• 1 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas 1/2 cup dried or 1 14 oz can
• 1/2 cup pitted Medjool dates about 6 dates
• 1/2 cup/80g tahini
• 1/4 cup/85g maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

 

• Lightly grease a 8" loaf pan or line with parchment paper. Preheat an oven to 350°F/180C.
• In a food processor, pulse together the chickpeas, dates, tahini, maple syrup and vanilla until well combined and smooth.
• Add the cacao or cocoa powder, almond flour, baking soda and salt, and process further until well combined. Add the dried cherries if using and pulse for another 30 to 60 seconds until combined. The mixture should be fairly thick. Stir in the chocolate chunks or chips.
• Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Bake for 20 to 24 minutes until a cake tester comes out clean. The brownies may be cooked a few minutes longer if you want a slightly crusty exterior.
