This chocolate chip blondie recipe is suitable for vegan, gluten free (make sure to use gluten-free oats), healthy, low sugar and plant-based diets.
Moist and fudgy just like a normal blondie and you wouldn’t even realise how healthy this chickpea blondie is from how good they taste. Bursting with nutrition, heart-healthy fats, fibre and a few slices can count as up to 2 of your portions of fruit/vegetables.
Ingredients:
- 1 can Chickpeas
- ½ cup / 70g Almonds
- ½ cup / 90g Chocolate chips
- ¾ cup / 140g Dates
- 1 cup / 90g rolled Oats, ground
- 2-4 tbsp Maple syrup / Applesauce or any other sweetener
- 2 tbsp Coconut oil
- ½ tsp Baking powder
- 2 tsp Vanilla
- a pinch of Salt
- a few tbsp of Water, just enough to blend to a smooth batter
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F / 180 C.
- Melt the coconut oil and grind the oats.
- Add everything for the healthy blondie batter apart from the water and chocolate to a food processor. Blend until smooth adding water a tablespoon at a time.
- Stir in most of the chocolate chips and spread onto an 8″ pan lined with greaseproof paper.
- Bake the chickpea blondies 25-30 mins until they are slightly golden. Add a few more chocolate chips on the top once taken out of the oven.
- Allow to cool and then cut into slices.
NOTES:
- Use coconut oil that is suitable for cooking, it’s often called culinary coconut oil, as it has a higher smoke point.
- You can replace the coconut oil with any other oil, but the taste and smell of coconut oil works well and is suitable for baking.
- If you want oil free chickpea blondies or lower in calories just leave out the oil.
- To make gluten free chickpea blondies use gluten free oats. Oats are naturally gluten free but are often contaminated during growing or processing.
- You can use instant oats rather than grinding normal oats.
- These healthy vegan blondies will last a couple of days in an airtight container.
