Chickpea Chocolate Brownies

Ingredients

  • 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed

  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

  4. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula
