How to Make Chickpea Blondies
These chickpea blondies are easy to make and don’t require too many ingredients.
First you open the can of chickpeas and drain the water. Place the chickpeas into a bowl and mash into a smooth paste with a potato masher.
Then you place the oats into a blender and blend into a course flour.
After that you add the ground oats to the bowl along with the mashed chickpeas. Then add the rest of the ingredients and stir until well mixed.
Option 2 is to add all of the ingredients (after draining the chickpeas), with the exception of the chocolate chips to a food processor and then blending until smooth. Then fold in the chocolate chips.
Next you add the mixture to a silicone tray of around 6 inches by 6 inches square, or line a baking tin with baking paper and add the mixture. Then place into a pre-heated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 25 to 30 minutes.
You can check if the blondies are cooked by piercing with a cocktail stick or other wooden stick. If the stick doesn’t come out wet, the blondies are ready.
