Chocolate Chip Chickpea Blondies

Flourless-Moist-Gooey-SIMPLE, & NO added refined sugar!

These actually are REALLY good—chickpeas & all!

Made another batch with my kids his afternoon!

Makes 16 bars

Ingredients:

1 (15 oz.) can garbanzo beans /chickpeas, rinsed well (find bpa free can if possible)
1/2 cup almond butter
1/3 cup pure maple syrup or raw honey
1.5 tsp real vanilla extract
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4-1/3 cup dark chocolate chips- I love lily’s brand sweetened with stevia available at Cleanfoodcrush.com/lilys

Rinse, drain and dry the chickpeas with paper towels.

Preheat your oven to 350 F.

Line an 8×8” brownie pan with parchment paper.

In a food processor, add in all of the ingredients – except the chocolate chips.

Process until just smooth. Add in the chips and pulse for just a second until just combined.

Transfer the batter to your pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.

Bake for 20-25 minutes – they may look underdone, but DO NOT over bake – that will dry them out.

Remove from oven and allow to sit for at least 15 minutes before removing and slicing into 16 bars.

Enjoy!
