👩‍🍳 Method

Step 1: Prepare the Tin

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a small baking tin with parchment paper and set aside.

Step 2: Blend the Wet Ingredients

In a blender, add boiled chickpeas, dates, nut butter, melted ghee, vanilla extract, milk, espresso shot, and salt.
Blend until completely smooth and lump-free.

Step 3: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and oats flour.

Step 4: Combine

Add the blended chickpea mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix gently until everything is evenly combined.

Step 5: Add Chocolate

Fold in the chopped dark chocolate for extra richness.

Step 6: Bake

Pour the batter into the prepared tin and level the top.
Bake at 180°C for 18 minutes, or until the center is just set.

Step 7: Cool & Serve

Allow the brownie to cool slightly before slicing.

🍫 Optional Toppings

Top with:

Melted dark chocolate
A drizzle of peanut butter
Chopped walnuts

💡 Notes & Tips

Do not overbake — the brownie continues to firm up as it cools.
For extra fudginess, let the brownie rest for 1–2 hours before slicing.
The chickpeas completely disappear in flavor, leaving behind a rich chocolate taste.
