Prep Time    : 15  mins

Cook Time   : 30 mins

Total Time    : 45 mins

Servings      : 16 brownies

INGREDIENTS

·         2/3 cup | 145 g coconut oil

·         180 grams dairy free dark chocolate chopped finely or in chips

·    1/2 cup | 120 ml aquafaba (the watery brine from unsalted cans of chickpeas)

·         3/4 cup | 150 grams sugar

·         1 teaspoon vanilla extract

·         1 1/2 cup | 150 grams chickpea flour, sifted if lumpy

·         1/4 cup | 22 grams unsweetened cocoa powder

·         1/2 teaspoon baking soda

·         1/2 cup | 90 grams dairy free chocolate chips, optional

INSTRUCTIONS

1.   Preheat oven to 325°F/150°C. Lightly grease or line an 8x8inch baking tin. Set aside

2.   Place the coconut oil and chopped chocolate together in a microwave safe bowl. Melt in 30 second increments whisking after each segment until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Once melted set aside to cool.

3.  In another large mixing bowl beat the aquafaba and the sugar together with an electric mixer until thick and shiny. Mix in the vanilla extract and the melted chocolate mixture.

4. Stir in the chickpea flour, cocoa powder and baking soda. Mix until you have a thick, fully mixed batter. Stir in the chocolate chips.

5.   Pour the batter into the prepared baking tin. Bake for 30 minutes and then check for doneness. Insert a knife or tooth pick into the centre of the brownies - if it comes out with a wet batter it needs more time. If only a few moist crumbs remain on the knife/tooth pick it's done. If you need to cook the brownies longer check every 3-4 minutes until it's done and then remove from the oven.

6.   Let the brownies cool in their tin completely before slicing into.

NOTES

·         Chickpea flour can also be called garbanzo flour or gram flour

·      Feel free to use coconut sugar in place of white sugar but keep in mind that the top might not have that signature crinkly top.
