Step 1

Preheat oven to 325F. Line an 9-inch pan with parchment paper or grease well, and set aside.

Step 2

Process the oats in a food processor or blender until very fine almost flour texture.

Step 3

Add cacao powder, baking soda, and salt and pulse just to combine.

Step 4

In a large bowl stir together almond butter, liquid sweetener, and optional non dairy milk until smooth. If you use a very dry almond butter, you will probably want to add the milk.

Step 5

Add dry ingredient to wet and stir with a spatula until combine, it will be thick.

Step 6

Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and smooth out with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake 20 minutes on the center rack, they may look underdone when you take them out, set on the edges, but this is okay.

Step 8

Let cool for 30 minutes.

Step 9

While the brownies are cooling making make cookie dough. If you want to remove the skins off the chickpeas it is optional. I usually shake them in a strainer as I'm rinsing them and remove the skins that are in there but don't take the time to take them off each one.

Step 10

In a food processor, or Vitamix, blend together chickpeas, nut butter (starting with 2/3rds cup), and liquid sweetener until smooth.

Step 11

Add in cinnamon, salt, and baking soda and blend until combine. Test and add more nut butter to taste if desired.

Step 12

Scrap mixture into a bowl, stir in chocolate chips if adding those instead of sprinkles. Place a sheet of plastics wrap directly on top of the mixture and place in the refrigerator. Or if your brownies are already cooled you can stir in sprinkles and add it right on top.

Step 13

Once brownies have cooled add sprinkles to the cookie dough if adding and carefully spread on top of the brownies.

Step 14

If adding drizzled chocolate on top melt 2 TBSP mini chocolate chips and drizzle over top of brownies, adding more sprinkles if desired.

Step 15

Place brownies in the refrigerator to chill, about 1-2 hours before cutting, they are best enjoyed chilled (our preference).

Step 16

Enjoy! (Store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight, or covered container.)

Step 17

Notes: If you want as much cookie dough topping as shown in the photos use half the listed amounts, still just as delicious!

Step 18

If you like chickpeas you can make these with less nut butter in the cookie dough, I've made them with as little as 1/3 cup for a fluffier healthier frosting.
