Prep Time:15 minutes
Cook Time:30 minutes
Servings: 9

Ingredients

  • 2 cups (330 grams) cooked chickpeas1
  • 5 tbsp (75 grams) peanut butter
  • ⅓ cup (64 grams) brown sugar2
  • ¼ cup + 2 tbsp (42 grams) oat flour*
  • ¼ cup (60 grams) applesauce
  • ¼ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • ½ cup dairy-free chocolate chips*

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
  • Add all ingredients except chocolate chips to a food processor and blend until smooth.
  • Stir in chocolate chips.
  • Pour batter into prepared baking pan and smooth out the top.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the top is dry and the edges are golden brown. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out with some moist crumbs - if it comes out clean, the blondies are over-baked!
  • Place the baking pan on a wire rack to cool. They will firm up more as they cool.
  • Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 5 days (they will get more thick and fudgy in the fridge).

Notes

1) Chickpeas: If you are using canned chickpeas and don't want leftover chickpeas, you can use one 15oz can (contains about 1 1/2 cups chickpeas). Your blondies will just be a bit thinner.
2) Sugar: Increase amount to 1/2 cup if you like very sweet desserts.
