Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Cooked chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
- 0.5 cups Peanut butter (unsweetened, creamy)
- 0.25 cups Maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 cups Jam or jelly of choice
- 0.25 cups Chocolate chips (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a food processor or high-speed blender, combine the chickpeas, peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 3
Blend the ingredients until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
Step 4
If desired, fold in the chocolate chips for an extra layer of decadence.
Step 5
Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan, spreading it into an even layer with a spatula.
Step 6
Spoon small dollops of jam or jelly across the surface of the batter. Using a butter knife, gently swirl the jam into the batter to create a marbled effect.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 28 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 8
Allow the blondies to cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing into 12 squares.
Step 9
Serve and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
