Chickpea Blondies

• portions: 9 servings
• temps total: 30 minutes

Ingrédients

1 can chickpeas or white beans, (or 1 1/2 cups cooked)

1 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp each: salt and baking soda

3/4 cup granulated sugar of choice (Substitutions are listed above)

1/3 cup flour (white, oat, spelt, sorghum, or 1/2 cup almond flour)

1/4 cup applesauce, mashed banana, or yogurt

3 tbsp oil or 1/4 cup nut butter

1/2 cup chocolate chips, or more if desired

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Drain and rinse beans very well. Blend all ingredients (except chips) until very smooth in a good food processor (see not above about using a blender). Mix in chips, and scoop into a greased or parchment-lined 8x8 pan. Optional: you can stick some chocolate chips on top of the batter as well. Bake for 30 minutes. They'll look a little undercooked when you take them out, but they firm up as they cool.View Nutrition Facts
