Ingredients
- 1 tin of chickpeas (peas and water – use it all!)
- 100g margarine (room temperature)
- 100g soft brown sugar
- 50 caster sugar
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 30g cocoa powder cocoa powder
- Tsp vanilla extract
- 75g plain flour (or gluten free plain flour)
- 10g melted dark chocolate
- 1 pack favourite vegan biscuits (crushed) or chocolates
Method
Step 1
Pre-heat the oven to 160C degrees fan
Step 2
Line an 8 inch square tin with baking paper
Step 3
Blitz the chickpeas (and the water they came in) in a food processor until smooth (you can do this by hand but it will take a lot more effort!)
Step 4
Add the margarine and sugar and beat together
Step 5
Add the cocoa, flour and baking powder, mix well
Step 6
Fold in the chocolates or biscuit pieces, leaving about 1/3 to sprinkle on
Step 7
Pour the mix into the lined tin and add the remaining biscuits/chocolates (or if using a spread add a tsp so it’ll end up approx. in the middle of each slice when cut)
Step 8
Bake for 25 minutes, then leave to cool completely in the tin before slicing
