Gooey Chickpea Brownies

11:02 AM

I am not a baker. Let me tell you that off the bat. I am a horrible baker.

Come Christmas time when everyone is making cookies and baked goods for people, I feel so much pressure to be like everyone else though my attempts at baking something delicious fails. Always.
I will never be the mom that gets asked to bake cookies for the PTA or bake sale. End of story.

On one rare occasion I decided to try this recipe I found on pinterest (surprise surprise). It is probably one of the few recipes that actually worked out and I could bake successfully.

Then add your egg and Almond or Peanut butter (I used PB) and pulse for a few more seconds.

Transfer to a bowl and add the oats, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and brown sugar. It will seem thick but keep stirring  It will smooth out.

Fold in your chocolate chips.  
Should look like this at the end

Transfer to a 9x9 (or a 9x13 like me) baking dish and cook for 45-55 minuets.

AND being the AMAZING blogger that I am. I got caught up with other things and forgot to take a picture of the final product before I took it over to my parents for dinner. Where, last I heard, my brother was very much enjoying the brownies and I am pretty sure they are probably almost gone. lol.
Just imagine they look like this picture here.

Happy Baking Friends!
