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
