Ingredients

• 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 1/3 cup nut butter (such as almond or peanut butter)
• 1/2 cup maple syrup
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• Pinch of sea salt
• 1/3 cup almond flour
• 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Prepare Chickpeas: Rinse, drain, and pat dry the chickpeas thoroughly to ensure there is no excess moisture.
2. Blend Ingredients: Place the chickpeas in a blender or food processor. Add the nut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, baking powder, baking soda, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
3. Incorporate Almond Flour: Add the almond flour to the blended mixture and process again until fully combined.
4. Mix in Chocolate Chips: Stir in the dark chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
5. Prepare Baking Dish: Spread the mixture evenly into an 8”x8” baking dish lined with parchment paper.
6. Add Toppings: Sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top of the batter for extra indulgence.
7. Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes. The blondies are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Note: I baked mine for 30 minutes.
8. Cool and Chill: Allow the blondies to cool in the dish for at least 20 minutes. Then, refrigerate them for at least an hour or overnight to set properly.
9. Serve: Once chilled, slice the blondies into squares and enjoy!

Tips

• Texture: For best results, ensure the chickpeas are well-drained and patted dry to achieve a smooth batter.
• Nut Butter: You can use any nut butter of your choice, depending on your flavor preference and dietary needs.
• Storage: Store any leftover blondies in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
