Ingredients

1 15-ounce can chickpeas
1/2 cup nut or seed butter
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup (about 3 ounces) chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375F. Spray an 8X8" baking pan with cooking spray and line with parchment paper. Set aside.
In the bowl of a food processor, add all ingredients except for the chocolate. Process for 3-5 minutes, scraping the sides of the bowl down once or twice, until the batter is very smooth.
Set aside 2 tablespoons of the chocolate. Stir the remaining chocolate into the brownie batter.
Scrape the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and use a spatula to smooth the top into an even layer. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate on top.
Bake for 22-26 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out with just a few crumbs attached. Allow to cool to room temperature before cutting. Enjoy!
