Jill could I use black beans? I don’t have any garbanzo beans? Thanks
What size pan for the brownies?
9″ x 9″
Hi there, I cant find the name of those beans, but is any brand chickpeas ok?
Any brand of chickpeas will do =)
I made this last night. Very good brownies. Very filling. Thank you, Jill! My food processor did have some trouble processing all the ingredients. It may be time for a new one.
Ditto here and my processer is brand new. I pulled the dates out and put them in my hi speed blender and then added it back and it came out fine.
The most delicious brownies I have ever tried! I cannot think of a more nutritious, filling and simple recipe. PERFECT!
Can you make this without the oat flour? No flour or GF flour?
I think gluten free flour would work ok.
I made it with GF flour. I assume it would have been better with oats, or maybe I needed more dates for sweetness. Either way, very delicious. Thank you.
Made this the first time and I did not like it. I made a few adjustments for our palette and they were great. I lessened the peanut butter but about a 1/4 cup and added 1/4 organic pure maple syrup and 2 tbsp organic local raw honey. They stayed really soft and chewy for days. Loved it. Great base recipe to fool around with and to get a lot of protein for a dessert. Thanks!
