I'm a savory type of gal, so it's not often that I bake sweet creations. Still, it's fun to share tempting treats with friends and besides, I am still on a quest to make the perfect moist and fudgy brownie. I must say my latest creation comes close. These brownies are actually made with chickpea flour instead of wheat flour, meaning they are gluten-free. You honestly won't be able to tell they aren't made with traditional flour. Serve them up to some friends without telling them if you doubt it. I'm not fond of nuts in brownies, but I have discovered that I rather like dried fruit in brownies, so I added some dried cranberries. The cranberries proved to be a pleasing accompaniment to the chocolate and added some chewiness besides.
But brownies really need no introduction; without further ado, onto the recipe.

Whoops! I've updated my post Pooja. Thanks for noticing the omission. You bake the brownies at 350.
Glad you enjoyed the scrambled chickpea flour Suparna.
These brownies look absolutely scrumptious, this recipe definitely goes into my must try recipe folder:-)
the last thing i'd do with chick pea flour is to bake a brownie.Not anymore ;) I like the fact that you got that crust on top just like a regular brownie. Great one Lisa :)
Oh lord I am just trying to get over my chocolate craving. This one is very tempting
Wow Love brownies. Liked the idea of adding chickpea flour and dried cranberries. Yummo.
Mmm these look good. Love that you used chickpea flour! I bought a bag but have yet to use it.
Luscious brownies!
Fabulous brownies and that too with besan flour... The cake has turned out really well... I am gonna try your version soon!!!
Another great recipe. I like this version with chickpea flour. I should try them.
These look INCREDIBLY fudgy--and what a bonus, gluten free! I love the addition of cranberries, too.
OMG what to say Brownies with chickpea flour simply superb looks delicious yum
brownies look awesome..that too with chick pea flour sounds interesting..
If you're really really nice to me I might give you my perfect brownie recipe, it makes industrial quantities, though, so you mg need to scale it down!
I'd love to find out about your recipe Rachel. Please share! Pretty please.
Yes, it looks as though I'll be buying more chickpea flour! Thanks for the recipe, I hope to make it soon. :)
I have never ever baked a cake with chickpea flour.. I should try this out. Lisa did u find any difference in taste from a regular flour?
First time to ur blog and am already zapped...chickpeas in cake?wow that sounds interesting n sumtng that i've never heard off....shud try this one soon.Thanks for sharing:)
My problem with brownies is that they so often miss the mark. But I can see from the texture of yours - absolutely, wonderfully, spot-on - that I wouldn't have that problem with yours!
I'm intrigued by the use of chickpea flour, and by the fact that you've used no raising agent (a good thing), and they've still come out looking great. Definitely a must-try for me!
These look dense and pleasingly chocolatey - must try this - but am curious about the chickpea flour - I am under the impression the one the italians use is different from the indian one (gram) - do you know which one you used???
Soma, I didn't notice a difference using chickpea flour rather than regular flour. The brownies rose nicely and they tasted great.
Johanna, I bought my chickpea flour from an Indian grocery store.
what a great concept. this would be perfect for my gluten-free friend. thank you.
Who doesn't love brownies, but I've never seen bropwnies with chickpea flour.
Does this taste exactly like the regular brownie? Any difference in the texture?
Aparna, you would never know the difference. Same texture and taste. They worked perfectly.
These turned out soooo good. I substituted 1/3 cup coconut oil for the butter and 1 cup of turbinado sugar for regular white and I didn't use any cranberries and it was delish. I will make it again! Thanks :)
Tonight is the second time I made these brownies. My husband and I love them! I added a teaspoon of orange extract because we love the chocolate orange flavor. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
