Chickpea Blondies Recipe
This chickpea blondies recipe is one of the earliest recipes I ever posted when I first started blogging almost 10 years ago! I loved the concept of using chickpeas in desserts back then and I still can't get my head around how amazing they work in sweet treats. These blondies are made with healthier ingredients, yet you wouldn't know by how good they taste and their amazing fudgy texture.
Ingredients
- 1 can chickpeas drained and rinsed
- 150g cashew butter see notes
- 120ml maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 50g oat flour see notes
- 3/4 tsp baking powder
- 80g dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180C/160C fan/350F.
- Add the drained and rinsed chickpeas to a food processor along with the cashew butter, maple syrup, vanilla and salt. Blend until you have a smooth mixture.
- Transfer into a mixing bowl and fold in the oat flour and baking powder. Now fold in the chocolate chips
- Using a spatula, smooth the dough in a 8" square baking tin lined with parchment paper. You can top with more chocolate chips if you like.
- Bake for 20-23 minutes, then leave to cool completely before slicing.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- Any nut butter will work. You can also use tahini if you need a nut-free alternative.
- I make my own oat flour by blending porridge/rolled oats into a fine flour in a high-speed blender. Use gluten-free oats if you need this recipe to be gluten-free.
