Israeli Spicy Surprise Chocolate Brownie Muffins

We sometimes bake something special for Shabbat, but it has to be quick, easy and yummy.

When I came upon this recipe, I was simply curious. How could this work? Would everyone like them or would they say that it tastes like hummus dressed up with chocolate. Little did I know that I would be tasting one of the yummiest desserts ever! They have no white sugar and are gluten free!!

Ingredients

• 1 (15 oz.) can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained, rinsed
• 3 large eggs
• ½ cup pure maple syrup
• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• 3 tablespoons Galilee Green Olive Oil
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips
• hot pepper flakes for sprinkling

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350° F.
2. Place chickpeas, eggs, maple syrup, cocoa powder, baking soda, olive oil, and extract in blender or food processor; cover and blend until smooth.
3. Pour into 12 muffin cups.
4. Top each muffin with about four chocolate chips and hot pepper flakes
5. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
6. Cool completely

The best thing about these muffins is that they taste better the next day, if they stay around that long. 🙂
