  • 1 tin chickpeas, or 240 grams cooked chickpeas
  • ½ cup rapadura or soft brown sugar
  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla essence
  • ½ cup raw cacao powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ⅔ cup aquafaba (water from cooked or tinned chickpeas) or 2 eggs if not vegan
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 170 °C. Line an 8 inch, 20 cm square baking tray with non-stick baking paper.
  2. Drain chickpeas, but reserve water and set aside.
  3. Combine chickpeas, sugar and olive oil in food processor bowl and blend until smooth.
  4. Add vanilla, cacao powder and baking powder, blend again until well combined.
