Dark Chocolate Chip Chickpea Blondies
These dark Chocolate Chip Chickpea Blondies are so soft, gooey, and you won't feel guilty after eating them! Blended chickpeas give this perfect cookie dough like consistency. I have tried a lot of chickpea recipes and wasn't the biggest fan, but I have been messing around with the ratios and I promise these are delicious!! These naturally have protein in them too, but if you would like more, substitute 1/4 cup of the almond flour for 1/4 cup (30 grams) of vanilla protein powder. I hope you give this recipe a try and love them as much as I do! Be sure to try my Cinnamon Streusel Protein Cake Bars as well for another protein sweet!

Ingredients
- Chickpeas - 1 15.5 oz. can of chickpeas, rinsed, drained & towel-dried.
- Almond Butter - 1/3 cup of creamy almond butter. I used the Caramel Almond Butter by Prozis. Y’all…this is the best almond butter ever. You can use my discount code KATIE10 for 10% off on this as well!
- Maple Syrup - 1/2 cup of sugar free maple syrup. My favorite is by the brand Lakanto, because it does not contain sucralose and is sweetened with monk fruit! You can find it on Amazon here. You could also use honey or another liquid sweetener of choice.
- Almond Flour - 1/3 cup of fine almond flour. I used the Organic Fine Almond Flour by Prozis. Code KATIE10 for 10% off!
- Vanilla Extract - 1 teaspoon.
- Baking Powder - 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder.
- Baking Soda - 1/4 teaspoon.
- Sea Salt - 1/2 teaspoon.
- Dark Chocolate Chips - 1/3 cup (53 grams) of Lily's dark chocolate chips.
How To Make Them
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper or nonstick spray.
- Blend the chickpeas, almond butter, syrup, vanilla, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a large food processor. Blend on high speed for 1 minute or until smooth & creamy.
- Add in the almond flour & process again at high speed for 15-30 seconds.
- Stir in chocolate chips. Spread the batter evenly onto prepared pan. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top if desired.
- Bake 20-30 minutes or until golden and crusty on top. Cool for at least 10 minutes in the pan away from the hot stove to firm up the blondies. Don’t skip this step or they will break!! Gently loosen the sides with a knife & cut into 12 medium or 9 large pieces.
