Flourless Brownies

Did you know that chickpeas are not only an excellent source of protein and fiber, but contain over 10 vitamins and minerals??!!! Now, you may be asking yourself....why are you talking about chickpeas?  Well, thats because chickpeas are the star ingredient in these fabulously healthy brownies.  Not that you would know it by looking at them or tasting them!

15 ounce can organic chickpeas (garbanzo) drained and rinsed
3 large eggs
1/2 cup pure maple syrup or raw honey
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp pure vanilla
1 tsp baking soda
3 tbs melted coconut oil
1/3 cup dark chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350. Spray muffin pay with olive oil cooking spray. Muffin liners do NOT work well. The brownies will stick to them even if you spray them. So just go paperless! In a blender or food processor put everything except the chocolate chips. Blend until smooth, about 1 minute. Fill 12 muffin cups. Put 4-5 chocolate chips in each muffin cup and push it into the batter. Cook for 15 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
