These Gluten Free Brownies are seriously the best I have ever tasted. They are loaded with chocolatey goodness and much healthier with just a few healthy swaps.
I have to say I was a little skeptical of this Gluten Free Brownies recipe the first time I was making it. Chickpeas instead of flour?
But, let me tell you, not only are they super easy to make but they are unbelievably awesome!! They are so moist and super chocolatey!
Gluten Free Brownies
Now that I have been gluten free for about 3 years now, it’s so great to be able to have recipes for treats that you can make for anyone and they are loved so much.
These brownies get completely devoured by everyone in my house, especially the kids and their friends! They had absolutely no idea they were gluten free and healthy until I told them….after they were all devoured! Now they are requested by many.
I love cooking dry chickpeas and having them handy in the freezer to use in recipes like this and of course either of my favorite Roasted Red Pepper Hummus and Avocado Hummus.
You may have seen gluten free brownies made with black beans as well. I prefer this recipe using chickpeas instead.
Ingredients
1 ½ cups of chickpeas or 1 can of chickpeas, drained
4 Egg Whites
4 tablespoon of Cocoa Powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
⅓ cup coconut oil (melted but not hot) or canola oil
⅓ cup of honey
¼ cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips — you can add more if you’d like. I put closer to ½ cup. 🙂
How to Make Gluten Free Brownies
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Grease a 8 x 8 pan. (I use coconut oil to do this)
Mix all the ingredients together (except the chocolate chips) in a food processor.
Stir in the chocolate chips and gently fold into the batter.
Pour the batter into the greased pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
ENJOY!!!

I was a bit skeptical about chickpeas tasting good in a chocolate brown. Proved wrong 100%. Super moist. And true test was my chocoholic daughter whom declared these amazing. And she has the luxury of being able to eat brownies made with wheat.

I’m so glad you liked them as much as we do! 🙂

I meant “buy”. Sorry about that.

You can also use ground flaxseed in place of eggs. You mix it with water and let it thicken. You can but ground flaxseed at costco or several other stores or possibly make your own. If you buy it, most packages will have instructions for how much to use per egg when using as a substitute.
