Chickpea Chocolate Cake

Just try it!! Dense as, chocolaty gooey yum!

2 cans rinsed + drained chickpea
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 large apple cooked + mashed (could also use 1/4 cup apple sauce but I think real apples tastes better - could also try with 1/4 cup mashed banana)
3 tbsp oil (rice bran, could use canola etc.)
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1 cup crushed dark chocolate (could use chocolate chips) + more to grate on top!


Pre heat oven to 180C

Process everything but the chocolate in a food processor. When combined add chocolate.

Cook in a well greased 10" pan. I like the spring from ones cause it's easier to get out.

Cook for 35 - 45 minutes. It will always be gooey in the middle so don't let that bother you. Just make sure it's all crusty on the outside.

Let it stand for 10 minutes before taking out of the tin.

I like to grate dark chocolate over the top while it's still warm, this gives it a thin melted chocolate glaze/crust thing & also makes people less scared to eat a chocolate cake made out of beans!

Can be eaten hot or cold. Just beware to not eat to much, it's both delicious and ridiculously filling.
