My Gluten-Free Vegan Flourless Chickpea Brownie Fudge recipe is actually a recipe fail that ended up with a life of its own.
It started out as an attempt (like a 5th attempt!) to make flourless brownies using chickpeas, but I never could get them to hold together without falling apart, which is hard to do in a flourless recipe without eggs.
So, after my latest attempt, I put the baking pan in the refrigerator to re-group and try again another day. But when I took them out of the refrigerator the next day, they had firmed up nicely and were very close to having a soft fudge consistency.
Except they tasted like a brownie.
My youngest son loves them and was the one who helped me eat all the failed attempts, and he was also the one who helped me come up with a name for them.
We decided to call them "brownie fudge". But keep in mind, it's not exactly a brownie and it's not exactly fudge. It's just good!
And it takes about 5 minutes to prepare and all you have to do is mix all the dry ingredients together in one bowl, mix the wet ingredients together in a Vitamix, then merge the two together.
This healthy recipe is plant-based, gluten-free, vegan, dairy-free, lectin-free (with substitutions), egg-free, soy-free, grain-free and contains no refined sugar.
