Flourless Healthy Chickpea Peanut Butter Blondies
Honestly, I had some trouble thinking up what to title this Flourless Healthy Chickpea Peanut Butter Blondies recipe. On one hand, it is kinda like a brownie but the texture is also kind of like eating fudge. A coworker and I were discussing it because at first bite it takes your brain a second to be like wait is this a brownie? Regardless, these healthy chickpea peanut butter blondies had disappeared off the plate I set out at work. I was told some had 3! So when you make them, make sure to grab a square of these yummy chickpea blondies before they disappear!
What’s In These Flourless Healthy Chickpea Peanut Butter Blondies
I feel the need to apologize for this photo because I took it at like 10PM after they were done and before I popped it into the fridge soooooo the colour is a little off. I promise they taste good though ;)
Most of these ingredients, you could probably find in your pantry. I was actually inspired to make these Flourless Healthy Chickpea Peanut Butter Blondies because I was staring at my own pantry trying to figure out what I want to make dessert wise for my meal prep. So here’s what’s in them!
- chickpeas
- peanut butter
- salt
- vanilla extract
- baking powder
- honey
- chocolate chips
How To Make Flourless Healthy Chickpea Peanut Butter Blondies
These chickpea blondies are seriously so easy to make – you put everything but the chocolate chips into your food processor (I own a Cuisinart food processor) and blend it until it’s smooth. Then pop it into the oven (I used my Cuisinart Combo oven because it fit my 9×9 OXO pan perfectly!) and boom it’s done. I then cut them into squares and put them into an airtight container and stored it in my fridge until the morning when I took it to work to share!
Tips On Perfecting These Flourless Healthy Chickpea Peanut Butter Blondies
- I line my 9×9 pan with parchment paper – to keep it all in place, I use two, one going around horizontally and one vertically. Then to keep it in place, I clip it with an alligator clip so it stays put when I put in the mixture. I remove them before I bake the blondies though ;) It’s also easier to lift out to cut afterwards vs greasing the pan
- Make it taste more chocolate-y by throwing some chocolate chips in the mixture and fold it in before pouring it in the pan instead of just topping the mixture

Could you use natural peanut butter in this recipe?

Hi Katie, unfortunately, I haven’t tried using natural pb. I don’t see an issue with it as long as it’s well mixed beforehand? If you do try, please let me know how it goes!
