Ingredients

Brownie Batter

1 can can chickpeas (15 oz) drained and rinsed (or 1 ½ cups cooked chickpeas)
½ cup pure pumpkin purée
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
½ cup gluten free oat flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
½ cup pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
¼ teaspoon salt

Topping

½ – ¾ cup dairy-free chocolate chips

Instructions

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper, leaving overhang, then set aside.

Making the Batter

Combine all ingredients except chocolate chips in a food processor and blend until smooth, scraping the sides as needed.

Baking

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.
Bake for 22-25 minutes until the top is set.

Finishing Touches

Sprinkle chocolate chips over the baked bars and return to the oven for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Use an offset spatula to spread the softened chocolate chips into an even layer.

Cooling and Serving

Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan for at least 30-60 minutes before using the parchment paper to lift them out and cut into squares.

Notes

Allowing the brownies to cool completely is crucial for a firm, fudgy texture. For best results, chill them in the refrigerator before slicing.
