Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) Canned chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
- 0.5 cup Peanut butter (or almond butter)
- 0.33 cup Pure maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Gluten-free oat flour
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.33 cup Dark chocolate chips (dairy-free if needed)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on two sides for easy removal.
Step 2
In a food processor or high-powered blender, combine the drained chickpeas, peanut butter, maple syrup, oat flour, vanilla extract, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 3
Blend the mixture until completely smooth and creamy, pausing to scrape down the sides as necessary. This may take 1-2 minutes depending on your appliance.
Step 4
Once the batter is smooth, fold in the dark chocolate chips using a spatula.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly using the back of a spoon or spatula.
Step 6
Sprinkle an additional handful of chocolate chips on top for extra indulgence, if desired.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean (a few crumbs are fine).
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let the blondies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang.
Step 9
Slice into 9 squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
