These decadent chocolate chickpea muffins are healthier than your average cupcake. They’re packed with protein-rich chickpeas, natural sweetener, and buttery coconut oil. The addition of creamy chickpeas lends for a super moist and dense batter.

Not only are these chocolate chickpea cupcakes easy and quick to make, they’re good for you-and no one (except you) will know it! To prove my point, my biggest critic (my husband) wasn’t initially impressed this concoction but he willingly tried one of these cupcakes. The unthinkable happened before my very eyes…he scarfed down ate one, then…he ate another! These might not be the sweetest cupcakes on the block, but they are definitely delicious!   If someone in your family has an overactive sweet tooth you can always add some super-sweet frosting, chocolate or carob chips or raisins.  Add another personalized touch by mixing in or garnishing with chopped nuts, shaved chocolate or shredded coconut.
