Choc Chip Chickpea Blondies
So delicious and so simple to throw together, these chickpea blondies have a subtle sweet flavor from the maple syrup and peanut butter that will bring anyone back for seconds.
Equipment
- Food Processor / Blender
- Oven
Ingredients
- 1 can chickpeas drained and rinsed
- 1 tbsp melted ghee / butter
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tbsp smooth peanut butter
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 1/2 cup milk or milk alternative (we use almond)
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 cup self raising flour (we use gluten free)
- A pinch of salt
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C fan forced.
- Combine the chickpeas, melted ghee/butter, maple syrup, peanut butter and vanilla essence in a food processor or blender and blitz until smooth.
- Pour the mixture out into a large mixing bowl (or simply remove the blade from the processor), add the milk and stir gently to combine.
- Fold in your flour, baking powder, pinch of salt and dark chocolate chips well, then transfer your blondie mixture into a lined baking tin.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the blondies are nice and golden on top. Allow to cool before slicing and enjoying.
Notes
Blender note: I found that a Nutribullet was really efficient for blitzing the chickpeas, but more difficult to combine the dry ingredients (step 3), which is why we call to transer into a mixing bowl. If you are using a food processor you can skip the bowl all together - just avoid blending your chocolate chips!
Vegan note: If you want to make them vegan, simply swap the melted ghee for coconut oil and make sure you use dairy free chocolate chips.
