Chickpea Blondies

Feb 15, 2018 | Recipes

Let me start by saying that you can’t taste chickpea AT ALL in this! I was expecting to and was pleasantly surprised. Instead you get a perfectly gooey mix of chocolate and peanut butter. I came across this recipe from @hydeparkmoms and I’m so glad I did so I can share this goodness with all of you.
 
Go ahead and give this recipe a try and tag @southwakeraleighmoms when you do! This just might be a new staple for you and the family when that sweet tooth hits.
 
INGREDIENTS

• 1 15oz can of chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
• 1 cup of chocolate chips
• 3/4 cup maple syrup
• 1/2 cup peanut butter
• 1/4 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt

 
HOW TO MAKE

1. Preheat your oven to 350
2. Dump all of the ingredients into a blender or food processor. Mix until smooth.
3. Add in chocolate chips and stir to combine
4. Use a small/square baking dish, or small cast iron skillet *The cast iron gives it more of a thinner cookie texture than baking it like you would regular blondies*
5. Grease your baking dish or line with parchment paper
    
   

 

6. Bake for 45 min to 1 hour. The top will start cracking and the sides will turn golden brown.
7. Let it sit for 25+ minutes before cutting!
