Ingredients
- 1 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup nut or seed butter
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

- In the bowl of a food processor, add all ingredients except for the chocolate. Process for 3-5 minutes, scraping the sides of the bowl down once or twice until the batter is very smooth.
- Set aside 2 tablespoons of the chocolate. Stir the remaining chocolate into the brownie batter.
- Scrape the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and use a spatula to smooth the top into an even layer. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate on top.
