What makes these Brookie Bars vegan and gluten-free?

The cookie dough uses chickpeas and oat flour, while the brownie batter uses sweet potato puree, cocoa, and oat and coconut flours, making them entirely plant-based and gluten-free.

Can I substitute the coconut sugar in this recipe?

The cookie dough also lists cane sugar or stevia as an option, and you could experiment with other granulated plant-based sweeteners in both components, though the flavor profile might change slightly.

How do I get the marbled effect for the Brookie Bars?

After preparing both batters, place spoonfuls of each into a lined or greased pan, then gently swirl them together to create an even distribution and marbled look.

What's the best way to store leftover Brookie Bars?

Once the bars are baked and cooled completely, cut them into individual portions. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for several days.

Do I need a high-speed blender for the batters?

The recipe specifies combining ingredients in a high-speed blender or food processor until smooth, which is recommended for achieving the desired creamy texture from the chickpeas and sweet potatoes.

How to Prepare Brookie Bars [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Combine each respective recipe’s ingredients in a high speed blender or food processor (except the chocolate chips in the cookie dough, mix those in after a dough has formed!) until smooth.
In a lined or greased pan, place both the brownie batter and the cookie dough by spoonful. Swirl the two together to create a marbled effect and to distribute evenly.
Bake this at 375ºF for 25-30 minutes until set and allow to cool completely before cutting. Once cool, cut into bars and top as you please, and enjoy!
