Secretly healthy chickpea blondies made with chickpeas, peanut butter, pure maple syrup and chocolate. Taste amazingly like peanut butter cookies.
Ingredients
426 gm
Chickpeas, canned, drained
(rinsed and drained)
2 scoop
Protein Powder, Vega Sport, vanilla
1/2 cup
Peanut butter, natural
(or fav nut butter)
1/4 cup
Maple syrup
(pure)
2 tsp
Vanilla extract, pure
1/4 tsp
Salt
1/4 tsp
Baking powder
1/2 tsp
Baking soda
114 gm
Lily’s Dark Chocolate Baking Chips
(or fav chocolate chips)
1 pinch
Salt
(Coarse sea for sprinkling)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and spray 8x8 inch pan with nonstick cooking spray.
In a food processor, add all ingredients except chocolate chips and process until batter is smooth.
Fold in 1/3 cup of chocolate chips, I like to use dark chocolate because it has less sugar but it's up to you. Note: Batter will be thick and super delicious, so you could actually just eat it on it's own!
Spread batter evenly in prepared pan then sprinkle 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips on top. (The batter may stick to your spatula, so I like to spray my spatula with nonstick cooking spray first.)
Bake for 25ish minutes or until toothpick comes out clean and edges are a tiny bit brown. The batter may look underdone, but you don't want them to dry out!
Cool pan for 20 minutes on wire rack. Sprinkle with sea salt then cut into squares. Makes 12 blondies. Store covered in the fridge for up to 3-5 days.
