Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Cooked chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
- 0.5 cups Peanut butter (unsweetened, creamy)
- 0.25 cups Maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 cups Jam or jelly of choice
- 0.25 cups Chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a food processor or high-speed blender, combine the chickpeas, peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Blend the ingredients until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
If desired, fold in the chocolate chips for an extra layer of decadence.
Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan, spreading it into an even layer with a spatula.
Spoon small dollops of jam or jelly across the surface of the batter. Using a butter knife, gently swirl the jam into the batter to create a marbled effect.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 28 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the blondies to cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing into 12 squares.
Serve and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
