Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) Canned chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
- 0.5 cup Peanut butter (or almond butter)
- 0.33 cup Pure maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Gluten-free oat flour
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.33 cup Dark chocolate chips (dairy-free if needed)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on two sides for easy removal.
In a food processor or high-powered blender, combine the drained chickpeas, peanut butter, maple syrup, oat flour, vanilla extract, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Blend the mixture until completely smooth and creamy, pausing to scrape down the sides as necessary. This may take 1-2 minutes depending on your appliance.
Once the batter is smooth, fold in the dark chocolate chips using a spatula.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly using the back of a spoon or spatula.
Sprinkle an additional handful of chocolate chips on top for extra indulgence, if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean (a few crumbs are fine).
Remove from the oven and let the blondies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang.
Slice into 9 squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
