Garbanzo Bean Brownies
- 1-1/4 cup Dark Chocolate Chips
- 1 can Garbanzo Beans, Drained And Rinsed
- 2 whole Eggs
- 1/4 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 2 Tablespoons Cacao Powder
- 1 Tablespoon Coconut Oil (or Oil Of Choice)
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 cups Brown Sugar, Packed
- 1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 Tablespoon Confectioners Sugar, For Garnish (optional)
- Add the chocolate chips to a small saucepan and heat over medium low. When the chips begin to melt on the bottom, slowly stir with a spoon and continue gently heating until chips are completely melted. Although this may take a couple of minutes, I prefer melting chocolate over the stove as opposed to the microwave to ensure it doesn't overcook or get burned. Set melted chocolate aside.
- Preheat the oven to 325 F.
- Add all ingredients (except chocolate) into a blender and blend until completely smooth. Add the melted chocolate and blend until combined. The batter will be very thick-this is marvelous.
- Line an 8"x8" baking dish with parchment paper (or lightly oil it with olive/grapeseed oil). Make sure the parchment paper hangs over two ends of the dish so you can use it as a handle to remove the brownies from the pan when done.
- Pour the brownie batter into the parchment-lined dish and smooth the top with a knife. The batter will not change form very much (it won't rise much or spread out), so make sure it appears the way you want it to.
- Bake brownies for 28 to 30 minutes (28 was the magic number for me) and test the center with a toothpick to be sure they're cooked all the way through before you remove them from the oven.
- Allow brownies to cool a few minutes then pull the edges of the parchment paper to remove the whole brownie block from the pan and set it on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to cut brownies and garnish with powdered sugar if desired.
- Serve fresh out of the oven and refrigerate any leftovers.
