Equipment

Ingredients

400 g tin of chickpeas drained, rinsed and dried, see notes for when cooking your own chickpeas
135 g peanut butter or your favourite nut butter, see notes
120 g maple syrup see notes
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
pinch of salt optional
100 g vegan chocolate chips

Metric - US Customary

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas Mark 4.
Prepare your baking tin by oiling it very lightly and lining it with baking paper.
Put all your ingredients (except chocolate chips) in the bowl of your food processor and blend until smooth.
Add half of your chocolate chips to the batter and give them a quick blend just to incorporate (you could do this without food processor and simply fold them in with a spatula).
Transfer your blondie batter into prepared square baking tin and sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips over the top.
Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean (chocolate on the skewer is ok).
Let the blondies cool slightly in the tin before removing them onto the rack to cool completely.
Enjoy!

Notes

Nutritional information is approximate, per serving (based on 16 servings) and should be treated as a rough guideline only.
If (like myself) you're cooking your own chickpeas, use 240g/8.5oz of cooked chickpeas which is an equivalent of what's in the tin after draining.
Feel free to use any of your favourite natural nut butter or tahini (for nut-free option).
Maple syrup can be substituted with agave syrup.
The blondies will keep in the airtight container on the countertop for 3-4 days or in the fridge for up to a week.
Freezer friendly.
