Healthy Chocolate Chip Chickpea Blondies
I have seen various recipes for 'bean' brownies and I was always skeptical. Not a huge fan of beans to begin with so these really didn't interest me. I mean if I am going to have a brownie, then I am going to have my GF Brownies! I do enjoy chickpeas so when I kept seeing recipes for chickpea blondies, I decided to give it a try!
I was pleasantly surprised at how yummy these turned out to be! They were thick and moist and the chocolate chips were a great addition! Do they taste like regular blondies? Not quite, but they are pretty darn close! Even my daughter enjoyed them and that's surprising!
They taste best when they first come out of the oven. Warm and gooey and this is when they most resemble a brownie-like taste. All you need to make and enjoy these at your home are;
2 cans chickpeas (if you have the time & patience, peel off the outer shell for a less gritty taste. I didn't and they were still yum!
1 cup natural almond or peanut butter
Maple Syrup
Vanilla
Baking soda & powder
Chocolate chips (as few or many you wish!)
Super simple ingredients that are cost effective too! I cut them small so I got about 16. Wrapped them individually and put half in the fridge and half in the freezer for later enjoyment! Just heat and eat!
If you make them be sure to share with me over on Instagram, Facebook or Pinterest! I love seeing what you are up to!
