Garbonzo Bean Brownies
Garbanzo beans have much less of a bean flavor than black beans, which are more commonly used to make brownies. So how about a garbonzo bean brownie recipe!
Ingredients
2 cups of canned garbanzo beans
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups of semisweet chocolate chips (be sure to look for brands suitable for celiacs if that is a concern)
1 1/4 cup of sugar
1 tablespoon of vanilla
1/4 cup of chickpea flour
3/4 teaspoon of baking powder
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350° F.
- Grease an 8 or 9-inch cake pan and set aside.
- Add the eggs to a blender or food-processor.
- Drain the liquid from the beans and rinse. Drain off as much liquid as possible and add the beans to your blender.
- Run on the puree setting until the mixture seems very smooth. This will take several minutes. You'll have some air bubbles in the mix, but if it looks like it is starting to become a meringue, stop.
- Melt your chocolate chips in a double boiler or in your microwave.
- Turn the blender to a low setting and add a few tablespoons of the chocolate to the mix. Let it blend for several seconds and then slowly add the rest of the chocolate. This is called tempering. You'll likely have to scrape the sides of the blender down with a spatula every so often, just make sure to do this while the blender is off.
- Once the mixture is all the same color, add the sugar and vanilla.
- Puree for another minute or two, until it seems like the sugar is fully incorporated.
- Now add in the flour and the baking powder and puree until the flour is also throughly incorporated.
- Pour the contents of the blender into your baking dish (a metal pan will work better than a glass one) and place in the middle rack of your oven for 60 minutes.
- To test if it's done, insert a toothpick into the center of the brownies and once it comes out clean, or mostly clean, you're ready to remove it from the oven.
- Baking time may vary, but 60-70 mins should be good enough.
- Once you remove the pan from the oven, let it cool for about 5-10 minutes before turning the brownies out onto a plate or cutting from the pan and serving.
