The key to these brownies is the “flourless” part: Instead of processed white flour which has a high glycemic load and can spike your blood sugar, we use chickpeas as a binder. The bonus? Chickpeas are rich in protein, fiber, and iron. So these brownies taste like a decadent treat and they’re packed with nutrition.

Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 350° F.

3. Place chickpeas, eggs, ⅓ cup maple syrup, cocoa powder, baking soda, coconut oil, and extract in blender or food processor; cover. Blend until smooth.

5. Top each cupcake with about four chocolate chips; push into batter.
6. Bake for 17 to 20 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

8. To make frosting while cupcakes are baking, whip peanut butter in a medium bowl; beat on medium speed for 1 to 2 minutes, or until creamy.
9. Add almond milk; beat until well blended.
10. Add Shakeology; beat until well blended, scraping bowl occasionally.
11. Slowly add remaining ¼ cup maple syrup while beating on medium speed. (If frosting is too stiff, add 1 to 2 tbsp. additional almond milk.) Set aside.
