Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Add 1/2 cup maple syrup, 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil, 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon salt to a large mixing bowl and use a whisk to mix well.
Add 1 1/2 cups chickpea flour (spooned into the measuring cups--not scooped) and 1/2 cup cold water and use the whisk to mix the batter until it looks smooth.
Add 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips and mix again.
Transfer the batter to an 8-inch inch baking pan lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 24 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs for a fudgier texture or no crumbs for a cakier texture.
Let the brownies cool off for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days or in the freezer for up to three months.
Optional addition: add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter. Stir them in at the same time as the chocolate chips.
