It's true, you didn't misread the title of this post! Brownies that use garbanzo beans and are actually relatively healthy! A student and friend, Kathy G, made these brownies over the weekend and they were spectacular. I hope you enjoy them as much as we did, and thanks Kathy!
Best Ever Brownies
Preheat oven 350 degrees
1 and 1/2 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
15oz. can garbanzo beans (drained & rinsed)
4 eggs
2T coffee powder (optional)
2T canola (or vegetable) oil
1t vanilla
1/2 c brown sugar
1/2 t baking powder
1/4 t salt
1/2 c chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans optional)
Melt the chocolate. Combine eggs, coffee powder and beans in food processor until very smooth. Add remaining ingredients - oil, vanilla, sugar, baking powder and salt, process until well blended.
Add melted chocolate and process briefly to mix, add nuts (if using).
Place batter in greased 9 in. square baking pan. Bake 350 for 35 to 40 min.
Kathy used Hazelnut Nutella as a frosting. Super yum!
Enjoy the best darn brownies ever!
Love Much,
Kris

Are these chewy brownies? Or more of the cake variety? I'm kind of particular and only like "chewy brownies", I can't stand brownies that are like chocolate cake but just more solid.
My family tells me they're not "super cakey", but are more on the cake side of the fence. Perhaps you could alter the ingredients to make it a bit denser.
what would be the nutritional breakdown for these?
