Healthy Gluten Free Brownies

Sharing is caring!

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 1/2 cups of chickpeas or 1 can of chickpeas, drained

4 Egg Whites

4 TBSP of Cocoa Powder

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1/3 cup coconut oil (melted but not hot) or canola oil

1/3 cup of honey

1/4 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips — you can add more if you’d like. I put closer to 1/2 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!!!
