If you were looking for decadent vegan chickpea brownies, you have come to the right place! These delicious chickpea brownies are made with the garbanzo bean, the same bean used to make tasty hummus. This sweet treat is rich and fudge like, just what a brownie needs to be. The chickpeas are made smooth in the food processor, and since chickpeas are gluten free, this is an excellent dessert alternative for those who are maintaining a vegan gluten free lifestyle.

I use vegan dark chocolate bars, but you can easily sub in vegan chocolate chips. This chocolate chickpea brownie is sweetened with agave, but you can use honey or maple syrup. I prefer chickpea over black beans as the base for this brownie, but that is just a personal preference. You can try it with both and see which one you enjoy more. Among my favorite recipes, this stands out to me because it is so hard to find a dessert recipe that tastes close enough to the original but is healthy enough for me to not feel too guilty if I sneak and extra piece. I think you will enjoy this as well, especially if you are looking to make some easy and healthy changes in your life. I also feel that it is harder to mess the ratio up in this recipe, since sometimes flour based brownies can come out hard as a rock. These remain soft and moist which makes it perfect for those who are not confident in their baking abilities.
