"There's a lot to be said for enjoying desserts for what they are: a sweet treat that can fit into a balanced diet. However, if you're in a position where you want to make every meal count in terms of nutrition, you don't have to miss out - with a can of chickpeas, your tray of brownies can be packed full of protein. Before you start to protest, rest assured that you won't be able to taste the chickpeas once they're mixed with the chocolate."
"In fact, they'll add a rich fudge-like texture to the mix that you wouldn't get with regular brownies. Chickpeas are one of the absolute best canned goods to stock your pantry - not just for the wide range of things you can do with them, but for the nutrition that they offer. Each can packs over 17 grams of protein and 16 grams of fiber, all of which is going to raise those macros for your brownies."
Chickpeas blended into brownie batter boost protein and fiber while remaining largely undetectable in flavor. The legumes add a rich, fudge-like texture and can replace flour at a 1:1 ratio due to their starchiness, enabling gluten-free brownies. Each can contains over 17 grams of protein and 16 grams of fiber, increasing the brownies' macronutrient content. Chickpea brownies can be made vegan by adding a binding agent such as peanut butter, tahini, or the reserved chickpea canning liquid (aquafaba). Other beans like white beans and black beans also serve as high-protein, neutral- or sweet-flavored substitutes.
