Ingredients

  • For the blondies
  • 15 ounces can chickpeas, drained and rinsed (I recommend peeling the skins off, too)
  • 1/2 cup creamy almond butter
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 3 tablespoons oat flour
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • For the dark chocolate frosting
  • 2/3 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup almond butter

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 350F and grease a 8x4 baking pan with coconut oil.
  • Toss the chickpeas, almond butter, and maple syrup in a blender and pulse until smooth. Add coconut oil, vanilla extract, oat flour, and sea salt and pulse again until smooth. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the blender.
  • Pour batter into prepared baking pan and use a spatula to spread (it will be thick). Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until golden brown on top and a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Prepare the frosting by melting the chocolate chips either in the microwave or using a double-boiler. Stir in the almond butter and cool slightly.
  • Pour the frosting over the cooled blondies and refrigerate until the frosting is firm (about 2-3 hours).
  • Slice and serve. Enjoy!
