If I had to pick a favorite legume, I think it\u2019d probably be a chickpea. Their soft, chewy texture pairs perfectly in some of my favorite salads, works well as a <\/span>vegan replacement<\/span><\/a> in traditional chicken or tuna dishes and yes, I\u2019ve even tried them in <\/span>fudgy blondies<\/span><\/a>. What more could you want in a protein-packed little bean?<\/span><\/p>\n

I made this recipe for peanut butter chickpea muffins<\/strong> back in 2019 and they were inspired by my <\/span>black bean brownie muffins<\/span><\/a>, which are a cross between a black bean brownie and a chocolate muffin. If you haven’t tried them yet, then what are you waiting for?!<\/span><\/p>\n

Now I know you\u2019re probably thinking: beans in baked goods sound weird. But, when blended together with a few ingredients, a touch of pure maple syrup and peanut butter, they somehow transform into the FLUFFIEST muffins you\u2019ll ever eat. Don’t believe me? Check out how glorious they turn out in Episode 4 of Good Mood Comfort Food<\/a>!<\/span><\/p>\n

In fact, they were such a hit with Tony, that after trying one he came back into the kitchen and exclaimed, \u201cI really like those muffins — they\u2019re so fluffy!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The best part was that I didn\u2019t even tell them they were made with chickpeas. Heh. Since I originally made them they’ve become one of the most popular muffin recipes on Ambitious Kitchen, so you know they’re a must-bake!<\/span><\/p>\n

We’re putting an actual can of chickpeas into this muffin recipe, and you’re going to LOVE IT. Trust me when I say they do not taste like beans or legumes at all. The creamy peanut butter and natural sweetness make them absolutely delicious and super fluffy.<\/span><\/p>\n

YASSSSSSS chickpeas solvin\u2019 all the hangry probs.<\/span><\/p>\n
