Healthy Chocolate Chip BLONDIES

I’m always on the lookout for healthier treats for the boys (and let’s be real, ME 😋). These Flourless Chocolate Chip Chickpea Blondies with Sea Salt were a hit with them (and Gary) this week! Super simple to throw together, you may even have all the ingredients in your pantry already 👌🏻 and they seriously taste like a traditional flour and sugar filled indulgence (peanut butter cookie-like), but aren’t! Winning! 🤩

Ingredients
  • Cooking Spray
  • 1 can 15 ounces chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup all natural peanut butter or almond butter
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup or agave nectar you can also use honey if you're not vegan
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/3 cup vegan or regular chocolate chips plus 2 tablespoons
  • Coarse sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and spray 8x8 inch pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a food processor, add all ingredients except chocolate chips and process until batter is smooth. Fold in 1/3 cup of chocolate chips, I like to use dark chocolate because it has less sugar but it's up to you. Note: Batter will be thick and super delicious, so you could actually just eat it on it's own!
  3. Spread batter evenly in prepared pan then sprinkle 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips on top. (The batter may stick to your spatula, so I like to spray my spatula with nonstick cooking spray first.) Bake for 20-25 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean and edges are a tiny bit brown. The batter may look underdone, but you don't want them to dry out!
  4. Cool pan for 20 minutes on wire rack. Sprinkle with sea salt then cut into squares. Makes 16 blondies. Store covered in the fridge for up to 3-5 days.
Recipe Notes

Adding an egg to the batter will make it more cake-like, but not vegan. You can use your favorite nut butter, just make sure it’s all natural. Feel free to add in other things according to your dietary needs like nuts, dried fruit, or other types of chocolate.
