Ingredients

  • 15 oz can of chickpeas drained and rinsed
  • cup blanched almond flour
  • ½ cup raw almond butter
  • cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • cup dairy free chocolate chips + 2 tablespoon to sprinkle on top

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine chickpeas, almond butter, almond flour, maple syrup, vanilla, baking powder, and salt in your food processor. Pulse until batter is smooth and all chickpeas are combined.
  • Take blade out of food processor. Scrape off any extra dough on the blade. Pour chocolate chips into food processor container. Using a spatula fold in chocolate chips.
  • Line 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper. Pour batter into pan. Using your spatula spread the batter evenly over the pan. Batter will be sticky and you might need to use your clean hands get an even spread. Sprinkle an additional 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips over top. Lightly press them into the batter using your fingers.
  • Bake in preheated oven at 350 F for 25-30 minutes. Top will be golden brown. Allow to cool completely in pan. Remove from pan and cut into 9 equal squares. Enjoy!

Notes

Tips for Making Vegan Blondies
  • Rinse and drain chickpeas before adding to the recipe
  • Use canned or make your own chickpeas from dried. If you use your own chickpeas use 2 cups of cooked chickpeas
  • The batter will be sticky, use parchment paper to keep it from sticking to the pan
  • Allow blondies to cool completely before removing them from the pan. They will firm up as they cool
  • Use blanched almond flour, not almond meal
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
