What you need to make chickpea brownie batter?
One of the best things about this recipe are the minimal ingredients it requires. Here's whatcha need:
- Garbanzo beans (aka chickpeas)
- Nut butter (any nut butter will work with this recipe, just make sure it's the creamy style)
- cacao powder
- vanilla
- maple syrup
- nut milk
- chocolate chunks
Dessert hummus tips
- Like the best homemade hummus, this recipe is best when you remove the skins from the garbanzo beans. Yes, it's annoying but trust me, it's SO worth it. Removing the skins ensures a silky smooth consistency every time!
- Keep the food processor running when pulsing the garbanzo beans and nut milk. This keeps things moving and adds air to the mixture to make it nice and fluffy.
- Test taste the mixture before you transfer it to a separate bowl. Everyone's taste preferences are different. If you prefer a sweeter dip, add a touch more maple syrup to make sure it's just how you like it!

Ingredients
- 15oz can garbanzo beans
- 2 - 3 Tbsp nut milk
- ½ cup nut butter of choice (I used cashew butter)
- ¼ cup cacoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla
- ¼ cup maple syrup, depending on sweetness desire
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- ⅔ cup chocolate chunks
Instructions
- Rinse and drain the garbanzo beans and remove the skin*. Place in a high-powered food processor and pulse until well mixed
- While the food processor is running, add in the nut milk and mix until creamy (at least 2 minutes)
- Stop the food processor and add in the nut butter, mix until well combined. Add in the cacao powder, vanilla, and maple syrup and mix again until thick and creamy (at least 2 minutes)
- Transfer the mixture to a separate bowl and stir in the chocolate chunks. Enjoy immediately or store in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to a week
Notes
*Note : To remove the garbanzo bean skins, pinch each bean in between your thumb and index finger until the film is removed. This process takes some time but trust me, it's well worth it!
