Welcome to our blog post featuring a delicious and nutritious recipe for Perfect Chickpea Brownies by erinliveswhole.com taste tested by Wood's Syrup Company. These decadent brownies are naturally sweetened with Vermont Maple Syrup, adding a delightful twist to the classic dessert so of course we had to try it with ours! We make a point of trying any recipe that uses our favorite sweetener. Packed with wholesome ingredients like chickpeas, nut butter, and almond flour, these brownies are not only indulgent but also a healthier brownie recipe alternative to traditional treats.
The use of maple syrup in this recipe not only elevates the flavor profile but also provides a natural source of sweetness without the need for refined sugars. The combination of chickpeas and nut butter adds a protein and fiber boost, making these brownies a guilt-free treat that can be enjoyed any time of day.
We experimented with different nut butter options and found that peanut or Sunbutter worked best to achieve the desired texture and moisture level in the brownies. Though the original author stated she liked Almond butter. I found it left the brownies dry and crumbly. Additionally, using coconut oil instead of an alternative like olive oil ensured that the brownies held together properly, creating a fudgy and rich consistency.
The addition of almond flour, cocoa powder, and a mix of baking soda and baking powder contributed to the overall structure and taste of the brownies. A sprinkle of chocolate chips on top further enhanced the sweetness and created a decadent finish that is sure to satisfy any sweet tooth.
Overall, these Perfect Chickpea Brownies are a wholesome and delicious treat that is perfect for satisfying your dessert cravings while still maintaining a focus on health and wellness.
