🥘 Ingredients & Substitutions
Here are the ingredients you need to make this recipe:
- Oat Flour: I recommend oat flour because it does not need to be heat treated, it is gluten free ( here is the oat flour I use) and it has perfect texture. You may also use almond flour but it will have a slightly grainy texture.
- Chickpeas: use canned chickpeas and ensure that they are very well rinsed. You could also use black beans.
- Cacao Powder: You can also use cocoa powder, I recommend Dutch process.
- Almond Butter: I recommend Georgia Grinders Almond Butter – use code LYNDSEY20 for a 20% off discount. You can use peanut butter too or swap for nut butters such as cashew butter, sunflower butter, or pecan butter to make it without peanut butter.
- Maple Syrup: Sweeteners such as monk fruit (sugar free option), honey or stevia may be substituted for maple syrup.

Recipe FAQs
Yes! This recipe was made no eggs and without uncooked, raw flour to make it edible.
This recipe is delicious as made however adding in a few toppings would make it even more decadent! Ideas such as sprinkles, chocolate syrup, graham crackers, cookies, walnuts, marshmallows, ice cream, Oreos, M&Ms, Nutella, strawberries or peanut butter would all be delicious toppings.
Not at all! This recipe has no chickpea taste, thanks in part to making sure that the garbanzo beans are very well rinsed.
The chickpeas tend to dry out while baking (I've tested it) so I do not recommend baking the batter.
