This morning I woke up and saw that nature (and my car) was covered in a thick sheet of snow. My email inbox was flooded with alerts from my internship program notifying us that we are not in session today due to the weather conditions (yay! Snowday!). Snowdays are a perfect time to relax and in my case, get creative in the kitchen. I decided to whip up these chickpea blondies after feeling inspired by my blackbean brownies that I made a few weeks ago. If it's snowing where you are and you're feeling adventurous, feel free to try these delicious, fiber-packed blondies for a treat 🙂
Ingredients:
- 15 oz. canned chickpeas, rinsed
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- ¼ tsp. baking soda
- ¼ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 2 tbsp. unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 1 tbsp. vanilla extract
- 1 cup mini vegan chocolate chips (I used Enjoy Life brand)
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Use non-stick spray to spray a 9x9" baking pan. Set aside the baking pan as the oven pre-heats. In a food processor, add all ingredients except chocolate chips. Using the food processor, mix all ingredients until everything is uniform. Turn off the food processor, add chocolate chips and using a spoon mix the chocolate chips into the batter. Using a spoon or spatula, scoop the batter into the pan and bake for 25-30 minutes. Remove from oven, allow to cool, and enjoy!
Stay warm and safe
