An indulgent treat packed with sugar. However &ndash; I&rsquo;ve managed to successfully give it a whole food, pant-based makeover, worked in some extra protein and fibre, and even lowered the sugar and glycemic index a little. Winning!<\/p>\n<p><strong>I've used...<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Almond meal and oat flour (ie, ground whole oats) replace the refined white flour<\/li>\n<li>Coconut sugar in place of refined white sugar (coconut palm sugar contains a prebiotic fibre called inulin, and slowing digestion and resulting in a lower GI than white sugar)<\/li>\n<li>Dark chocolate in place of milk<\/li>\n<li>And chickpea brine in place of eggs!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This means that this recipe now has less saturated fat, over 3x the protein, nearly 5x the fibre and 1&frac12; teaspoons less sugar per serve than your traditional brownie [<a href=\"https:\/\/www.allrecipes.com\/recipe\/10549\/best-brownies\/\">Source<\/a>].<\/p>\n<h2>But wait. Did I say chickpea brine?<\/h2>\n<p>Yes &ndash; weird but true. I&rsquo;ve seen plenty of black bean brownie recipes floating around &ndash; which of course, help lend a nice fudgy texture and added nutrition to the recipe, but not so many chickpea brownie recipes.<\/p>\n<p>And certainly not any that use whole chickpeas AND the brine they come in. <strong>Aquafaba<\/strong> is the new term given to this liquid &ndash; and its full of proteins, carbohydrates and soluble fibres &nbsp;that pass into the liquid as the legumes cook.<\/p>\n<p>When you whip this liquid with a hand or cake mixer, you&rsquo;ll watch it turn to &lsquo;egg white&rsquo; before your very eyes. Wild! It can be used as an egg replacement, emulsifier, binder or thickener. It is ideal in egg-free meringues, macaroons, marshmallow fluff and cakes.<\/p>\n<p>So now, doesn&rsquo;t it make sense to use both chickpeas and brine?<\/p>\n<p>Be brave with me guys and give this a whirl &ndash; it does not taste like chickpeas or beans or slime, it tastes rich, chocolatey, is moist and fudgy &ndash; and is just that bit better for you.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13385\" src=\"https:\/\/ascensionkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Chickpea-Brownies-Recipe-Ingredients.jpg\" alt=\"Flat lay of all the ingredients needed to make chickpea brownies\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ascensionkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Chickpea-Brownies-Recipe-Ingredients.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/ascensionkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Chickpea-Brownies-Recipe-Ingredients-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/ascensionkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Chickpea-Brownies-Recipe-Ingredients-680x1020.jpg 680w, https:\/\/ascensionkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Chickpea-Brownies-Recipe-Ingredients-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ascensionkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Chickpea-Brownies-Recipe-Ingredients-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ascensionkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Chickpea-Brownies-Recipe-Ingredients-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/ascensionkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Chickpea-Brownies-Recipe-Ingredients.jpg\"><\/p>\n<h2>Chickpea Brownies Recipe &ndash; Step by Step<\/h2>\n<p>Let&rsquo;s get the oven on, 175&#730;C \/ 350&#730;F, fan bake. And let&rsquo;s line a square baking dish with baking paper. Wrangling the baking paper is the hardest part, isn&rsquo;t it, someone please invent &lsquo;baking sleeves&rsquo;, thank you.<\/p>\n<p>Now, we take a 400g \/ 14 oz tin of chickpeas in a plain brine (no added salt), and open it directly over the blender, straining the liquid and reserving the chickpeas for the food processor. No wastage here.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13386\" src=\"https:\/\/ascensionkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Chickpea-Brownies-Recipe-4.jpg\" alt=\"Blender containing chickpea liquid, and a food processor containing whole chickpeas, with a chickpea can beside it\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ascensionkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Chickpea-Brownies-Recipe-4.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/ascensionkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Chickpea-Brownies-Recipe-4-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/ascensionkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Chickpea-Brownies-Recipe-4-680x453.jpg 680w, https:\/\/ascensionkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Chickpea-Brownies-Recipe-4-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ascensionkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Chickpea-Brownies-Recipe-4-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/ascensionkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Chickpea-Brownies-Recipe-4-272x182.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/ascensionkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Chickpea-Brownies-Recipe-4.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Next, we melt a quality 100g bar of dark chocolate, with a tablespoon of coconut oil and dash of vanilla, over a double boiler [1].<\/p>\n<p>Returning to our food processor now &ndash; add cacao powder, sea salt and baking soda, then pour over the melted chocolate concoction [2]. Give it a good blitz so that the chickpeas are now evenly processed [3].<\/p>\n<p>Please don&rsquo;t add the almond meal or oat flour at this point &ndash; it just won&rsquo;t blend!<\/p>\n<p>Now &ndash; back to the blender, whiz it good &ndash; 30 seconds. You&rsquo;ll note the brine turns white and frothy, but won&rsquo;t form stiff peaks as you would whipping it up in a cake mixer.
