210g* cooked chickpeas, drained
85g (1/3 cup) homemade peanut butter
1/2 tsp salt
100g (1/2 cup) unrefined light brown sugar
30g (2 tbsp) applesauce
28g (1/4 cup) ground flaxseed
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla extract
Chocolate chips
*I cooked 100 grams of dried chickpeas and got 210 grams cooked. 100g dried should equal 240g cooked, but, well, hm, not for me, I guess. It's not that bad if you add 30 grams more or less though. If you are lazy, feel free to use 1 can of chickpeas.
1) Preheat oven to 180C / 350F. Lightly grease a loaf pan or use a silicone loaf pan (which I prefer).
2) In your food processor, add chickpeas and pulse until smooth. Add peanut butter, salt, brown sugar, applesauce, ground flaxseed and pulse again until well combined. Scrape down the sides. Add baking powder and baking soda and pulse again until combined.
3) Spread into the baking pan and sprinkle a handful of chocolate chips on top, slightly pressing them down. (You can mix in more chocolate chips if desired. I only sprinkled the top to make these healthier).
4) Bake for 20-25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool before cutting into squares.

Who knew it was possible to make healthified blondies?! I definitely am curious to know what the addition of chickpeas tastes like.. they look delicious though!
ReplyDeleteThere is no doubt in my mind that these Blondies are yummy, Gaby. I made Black bean Brownies a couple of weeks ago and I was amazed at their texture, taste and deliciousness. I'm sure it is the same for these. I can not wait to try them!!! Pinned!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, Gaby...
Gaby, they look good and it's great that you healthified them. Yum!
ReplyDeleteOH my god! you made me crazy. Chickpea Blondies such a presentable and delicious looking manner. And you explained the whole procedure just in minutes. Great work!
