Ingredients

2 – 3 tablespoons almond milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup maple syrup (adjust based on sweetness preference)
½ cup cashew butter (or nut butter of choice)
¼ cup cacao powder
⅔ cup chocolate chunks
Instructions
Rinse and drain the chickpeas thoroughly. Remove the skins for a smoother texture.
In a high-powered food processor, blend the chickpeas until smooth.
With the processor running, add almond milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Blend until creamy, approximately 2 minutes.
Add the nut butter and blend until fully incorporated.
Mix in the cacao powder, continuing to blend and scrape down the sides as necessary, until the mixture is thick and creamy.
Transfer the brownie mixture to a bowl and fold in the chocolate chunks.
Enjoy as is, or chill in the fridge to firm up slightly before serving.
