Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cooked white beans (e.g., cannellini or great northern beans), rinsed and drained
- 0.5 cup Smooth almond butter (or peanut butter for variation)
- 0.25 cup Pure maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the white beans, almond butter, maple syrup, light brown sugar, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides as needed to ensure even blending.
Transfer the blended mixture to a mixing bowl and gently fold in the dark chocolate chips using a spatula.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with the back of a spoon or a spatula.
Optional: Sprinkle a few additional chocolate chips on top of the batter for extra visual appeal.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean (it’s okay if it has some melted chocolate).
Remove the pan from the oven and let the blondies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Cooling is important to ensure the blondies firm up properly.
Once cooled, lift the blondies out using the parchment paper overhang, slice them into 12 squares, and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
