18 Jun Fudgy Chickpea Skillet Brownie
Oh what do you know, it’s just me stuffing vegetables where they don’t belong again. I have been baking quite a bit with chickpeas and beans lately and truly loving the results. They work especially well for this brownie recipe as they really lend themselves to the moist, fudgy texture.
These are also incredibly wholesome – they are grain free and filled with fibre. While they are relatively low carb, they can be made truly low carb by replacing the banana with steamed pumpkin.
I served mine with some Skinny Scoop ice cream but it is honestly delicious on its own, or with some heated up berries. Bake it, eat some, and then freeze the rest. Don’t say I didn’t warn you about how moreish it is!
I got distracted with making lunch while I was browning the top of the brownie in the last 5 minutes and slightly charred my chocolate chunks on top! They still tasted good, but just don’t make the same mistake as me – when you turn the grill on you literally only need to leave it for 3-5 minutes.
