When the chocolate craving strikes, I say give into it. Here's why...when you restrict and avoid foods that you love, you make them more attractive.

Studies show people who restrict will eventually binge on whatever it is they're avoiding. It's just a matter of time. That's why willpower can only take you so far.

So how do you eat chocolate, stay healthy and each your goals? Ahh....that's the million dollar question.

That question is one the ladies in my last 14 Day Sugar Reset Challenge learned very well. You see, the big bad secret to eating whatever you want is watching portions and eating real foods.

Processed foods, low fat, nonfat foods have the fat replaced with sugar or sugar substitutes. Studies show all sugar whether it's a low calorie substitute or real sugar has the same effect on blood sugar. When blood sugar goes up, we store sugar as fat if we're not immediately using it as energy.

A better solution? Eat real foods that are unprocessed that have no sugar added to them. A good way to do this is by making your own real foods. We've forgotten in our busy go-go-go society how to cook real food, but it's so important to our health.

And guess what? You can start making real food by baking thee Double Chocolate Chickpea Brownies! Ever since I made those chickpea blondies, I've been dying to make a chocolate version of those brownies. Have you tried them? Well, if you haven't then you need to make both!

Super decadent and creamy, melt-in-your-mouth good! And there's double chocolate and it's made with real foods. See? That's how you eat chocolate!

Servings 8 brownies
Calories 212 kcal

Ingredients
 
 

  • 3 eggs room temperature
  • 15 oz chickpeas drained
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract or vanilla
  • 1/3 cup cacao powder unsweetend
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips dairy free

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 F. Prepare a 9-inch x 5-inch baking dish by lining with parchment paper or greasing. 
  • Place all ingredients except chocolate chips in a food processor. Process on high until smooth. Scrape down the sides and process again.
  • Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish and smooth into an even layer. 
  • Bake 20-22 minutes or until a toothpick can be inserted clean. Let the brownies sit in the pan 10 minutes to cool. 
  • Sprinkle chocolate chips over the top then slice into 8 brownies and serve. Store brownies in the refrigerator up to 10 days. 

Notes

  • These brownies are made lower in sugar. I recommend you test the batter before baking to ensure they are to your taste buds. I do not like a lot of sugar, but you can add up to 1/2 up of maple syrup in this recipe.
  • My Amazon shop has more products similar to those used for this recipe and that I recommend to my nutrition clients.

      Honey would be a good alternative.

      You can sometimes find maple syrup in the ice cream topping aisle in the UK. It’s not always 100% pure though. I lived there for 5 years and had to search long and hard to find maple syrup in the UK. Good luck

      I'm not sure what you mean by cooking fresh chickpeas? The recipe does not use cooked chickpeas. They should be canned and uncooked.
