Chocolate Brownies

Recipe

a small  brownie pan/tin / for about 10 people

10-15 minutes prep time & 25-30 cook time

 

Ingredients:

240 g boiled chickpeas*

110 g dates (pitted and chopped)

3 tbsp peanut butter or other nut butter*

100 g of your favourite vegan chocolate (I love this raw dark chocolate)

3 tsbp raw cacao powder

2 tbsp virgin coconut oil

pinch of vanilla

 

Directions:

(Don't preheat the oven!)

  1. Melt the chocolate in a bowl placed over a pan filled with hot water.
  2. Blend the chickpeas, nut butter and the coconut oil for some minutes in a high speed blender before adding all the other ingredients. 
  3. Add the melted chocolate and blend until smooth/well combined (for at least 5 minutes or until the mixture is very smooth.
  4. Press out the batter on a baking sheet or make some bliss balls. (NOTE: If you make bliss balls out of the batter, turn them in scredded coconut or popped amaranth and freeze them for some minutes!)
  5. Heat the oven to 180°C and let the brownies bake for about 25 minutes. (Note: if you double the recipe, heat the over to 175°C and bake for 30 minutes!) Be careful to not bake the brownies to long, then they will get to dry.
  6. Let the cake cool down before slicing it into cubes.
  7. Enjoy!

*Note: you can use butter beans and chestnut puree instead of chickpeas and instead of nut butter you can use coconut butter. It works really good and is perfect if you have some allergies.
