Chickpea Blondies

If you know me, then you know I am obsessed with dessert. However; I do try to make “healthy” desserts sometimes so I can satisfy cravings without blowing all the time I spend exercising. These “blondies” are peanut buttery and sweet. I used a mixture of mini Reese’s and Reese’s pieces. You can use milk chocolate chips or a mixture of chocolate chips and peanut butter chips depending on what you are craving.

Ingredients:

1 15.5 ounce can of chickpeas drained, rinsed, and dried

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

1/2 cup pure maple syrup

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 cup almond flour

1/2 cup chocolate chips*

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Add chickpeas, peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, baking soda, salt, baking powder, and almond flour to a food processor.
3. Pulse to mix scraping down the sides as needed.
4. Transfer to a nonstick 9×9 square dish and spread to cover the dish.
5. Sprinkle/arrange chocolate chips on top.
6. Bake 25-30 minutes.
7. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack before removing from the pan.
8. Enjoy!
