Ingredients

Scale

Chickpea Batter

  • 15 oz can chickpeas, rinsed, drained, and skins removed
  • 2 Tbsp almond milk (or any milk)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (adjust based on desired sweetness)
  • 1/2 cup nut butter (cashew butter recommended)
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder

Add-ins

  • 2/3 cup chocolate chunks

Instructions

  1. Prepare Chickpeas: Rinse and drain the chickpeas thoroughly, then carefully remove the skins to ensure a smooth batter texture.
  2. Blend Base Ingredients: Place the skinned chickpeas into a high-powered food processor. While it’s running, slowly add almond milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Continue blending for approximately 2 minutes until the mixture becomes creamy and well combined.
  3. Add Nut Butter: Pause the processor and add the nut butter. Blend again until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  4. Incorporate Cocoa Powder: Add the cocoa powder to the processor and blend for at least 1 minute, scraping down the sides as needed, until the batter is thick and creamy.
  5. Mix in Chocolate Chunks: Transfer the thickened batter to a bowl and fold in the chocolate chunks evenly. Serve immediately and enjoy as an edible brownie batter dessert!

Notes

  • Removing chickpea skins helps achieve a smoother batter but can be skipped if short on time.
  • Adjust maple syrup quantity depending on your preferred sweetness level.
  • Use any type of nut butter you prefer, though cashew butter provides a mild, creamy taste.
  • This recipe is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 2 days in an airtight container.
  • For a vegan option, ensure your chocolate chunks are dairy-free.
  • This is a no-bake recipe and meant to be eaten raw as a safe edible batter.
