Chickpea Blondies

Makes 9 blondies

Ingredients

• 1 can chickpeas

• 1/2 cup maple syrup

• 1/3 cup oat flour

• 1/4 cup nut butter of your choice - I used peanut butter!

• 1 1/2 tbsp oil (olive or avocado)

• 1/4 tsp salt

• 1 tsp vanilla

• 1/4 tsp baking soda

• Chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8×8 pan with parchment paper. Rinse and drain chickpeas, then pat dry between two towels (this helps reduce any bean flavor). Add all ingredients except chocolate chips to a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth. Stir in chocolate chips. Spread batter evenly into prepared pan. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top if desired. Bake for 18–22 minutes, until the center is just set. Let cool completely before slicing — texture firms up as they cool.
