Candice, this is for you. Chocolate Chip Chickpea Blondies

Deliciousness. Made with beans. But you can’t taste the beans. I promise.

They have the texture of cookies. I don’t know why they’re called blondies.

By the way, this isn’t totally my recipe, I (loosely) used the recipe posted a while back by @missk_j6 on instagram.

Chocolate chip chickpea blondies:

ingredients
1 can (540mL I think) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 scoop vanilla protein powder (I used Optimum Nutrition)
1/3 cup peanut butter
1/3 cup honey (could use agave or maple syrup)
2 packets splenda/stevia (if needed)
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2/3 cup dark chocolate chips

These are super easy. Preheat your oven to 350f. Throw all the ingredients into a food processor (except the chocolate chips) and whiz until well combined. Taste the mixture. If it needs more honey or you want to add the splenda/stevia packets, or salt, add some. They definitely lose a bit of sweetness while baking. Pour the mixture into a baking pan lined with parchment paper, add the chocolate chips and mix them in, then bake for about 30-35 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool then stuff your face!! I topped mine with Cookie Nookie Peanut Butter.

I will try to cook some more good food in the coming months so I can update my blog more often!
