Chickpea Blondies (Gluten Free, Vegan)

Written by on in Gluten Free, Recipes, Vegan

These Chickpea Bondies are gluten free, vegan, high in protein and fiber. They are so fluffy, soft, and sweet, nobody will ever guess they’re made with chickpeas!

If you’re feeling skeptical about the main ingredient being chickpeas, I don’t blame you because I was too! But I promise you can’t taste them, they just add a really nice fudgey texture to these blondies. I’ve been making and snacking on these non-stop and they’ve come out perfect every time. One of the best parts about this recipe is that it comes together completely in a high speed blender!

Chickpeas add so much protein and fiber. Along with the healthy fats, oat flour, and natural sweetener, these are a great balanced treat!

How To Make

Preheat the oven to 350F. Line an 8×8 baking dish with parchment paper or lightly spray.

Then, rinse and drain the chickpeas. Add all of your ingredients except the chocolate chips to a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth. You may need to stop and scrape the sides a couple of times as you blend if the batter is thicker!

Next, add in your chocolate chips and stir until mixed throughout the batter. Transfer the batter to your baking dish. Option to add more chocolate chips on top (highly recommend because you can never have enough 😉) and sprinkle some sea salt.

Place in the oven and bake for thirty minutes until the blondies have risen and are golden. Let them cool completely before slicing and enjoy!
