Gluten-Free Chocolate Chickpea Cupcakes

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup coconut oil
• 1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained
• 4 eggs
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups or line with paper liners.

Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in the top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching.

Blend chickpeas, eggs, sugar, baking powder, and vanilla extract together in a blender or food processor until smooth. Add chocolate mixture and blend until smooth. Pour batter into prepared muffin cups.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes.
