Chickpea Blondies
I feel like cauliflower has taken over chickpeas recently, so it’s time we bring back this oldie but goodie.
This recipe is simple & delicious. I make a bunch and they store well in the freezer for quite a while (very important to have some healthy-ish desserts on hand). Now time for you to make your own!
WHAT TO GRAB:
1 can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup maple syrup (or agave, honey, whatever you’d like)
1/2 cup nut butter of your choice (I like PB here)
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp vanilla extract
As many chocolate chips as your heart desires
OPTIONAL ADD INS:
Coconut flakes (unsweetened)
Chopped pistachios, walnuts, almonds, etc.
Chopped dried fruit (think craisins, cherries, blueberries)
Cinnamon & raisins
Orange zest
WHAT TO DO:
Preheat oven to 350 F
In a mixer, combine everything except the chocolate chips and baking powder
Once all combined, mix in the chocolate and powder
Put in a (sprayed) baking dish and smooth so it’s even distributed
Bake for ~20-25 minutes (depends on your pan size)
Place the pan in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to cool
Cut into square and enjoy :)
