Chickpea Blondies

     So, we have all seen the black bean brownies on different blogs (which are amazing!), and here is a take on the blondie! Chickpeas are a great source of protein and fibre and are really versatile. Honestly these taste nothing like chickpea (which I suppose is good when baking ;) ), and are delicious! Lately I have been favouring grain free over just gluten free and I think it has been making a difference. So for those of you who are looking into grain free or just looking to eat healthier desserts, this recipe is perfect for you!




Recipe

Ingredients:
  • 1 large can of chickpeas
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 cup medjool dates
  • 1/3 cup stevia
  • 3 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup almond butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Steps:
  • Preheat oven to 350
  • In a food processor, blend all ingredients together to form a paste
  • Add in chocolate chips
  • Pour batter into a 9" pan, lined with parchment paper
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes
