Notes
Peel the chickpeas : To remove the chickpea skins, pinch each bean in between your thumb and index finger until the film is removed. Alternatively, you can rub a handful of chickpeas in between a towel to remove the skins. This process takes some time but trust me, it's well worth it!
Nut butter : Any nut butter will work in this brownie batter recipe. I recommend cashew butter as it has the lightest flavor and blends well with the chocolate flavor.
Storing : To store the edible brownie batter, transfer the mixture to an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to two weeks. Let the mixture soften slightly before digging in.
