    The most delicious healthy blondie recipe EVER

    I mean I do call myself Healthful BLONDIE for a couple of reasons….

    This blondie recipe is out of this world tasty! It is so good that I usually have to bake two batches so that they all don’t disappear on the first day.

    I love enjoying this scrumptious vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar-free dessert after dinner and even as an afternoon snack sometimes (shhhhh)! I like to add a scoop of ice cream to elevate this dessert even more.

    The texture is truly divine — melt in your mouth divine!

    So what’s the big hype around baking with chickpeas these days?

    I love baking with chickpeas. You’ll see very soon. They create a very soft, fudgy texture. And, best of all, you CANNOT even taste them. I promise. I refuse to eat desserts that taste like vegetables or have no sweetness to them. If you are going to enjoy a sweet treat, do it right!

    Ingredients you’ll need to make the BEST healthy blondies

    You’ll need a few ingredients to get this recipe going! But you know me, I am all about simplicity and ease, so don’t worry, you won’t need to go to the supermarket and buy a lot of expensive baking ingredients. This lists is really simple:

    • Canned chickpeas
    • Almond butter
    • Maple syrup
    • Vanilla extract
    • Coconut sugar
    • Coconut flour – you can easily substitute this with almond flour as well!
    • Almond flour
    • Baking powder
    • Salt
    • Chocolate chips

    How to store this delicious treat?

    These blondies are a family favorite and do not last more than a few days! But, for best results, store in a covered container for 3 -5 days at room temperature. You may freeze up to 2 months.

    Prep Time 5 mins
    Cook Time 25 mins
    Total Time 30 mins
    Serving 9 servings

    Ingredients
     

    • 1 15oz can of chickpeas
    • 6 Tbsp almond butter
    • ⅓ cup maple syrup
    • 2 ½ tsp vanilla extract
    • ¼ cup coconut sugar *
    • 1 Tbsp coconut flour **
    • 4 Tbsp almond flour
    • ½ tsp baking powder
    • ¼ tsp salt
    • ¾ cup chocolate chips

    Instructions

    • Preheat your oven to 350F and lightly grease or line an 8” x 8” tin with parchment paper. 
    • Drain and rinse chickpeas under COLD water for at least 30 seconds. Gently pat dry.
    • Add all ingredients - except the chocolate chips - into a food processor. Blend until completely smooth (somewhere between 30-45 seconds).
    • Remove blade and hand fold in a 1/2 cup of chocolate chips.
    • Evenly spread the batter into greased tin. Sprinkle the rest of the chocolate chips on top.
    • Bake for 20-25 mins. 
    • Let cool before serving, and enjoy!

    Notes

    * SUGAR OPTIONS: I love to bake with coconut sugar. However, if you do not have it in your pantry, you can substitute 1:1 with light brown sugar. 
    ** FLOUR OPTIONS: If you do not have coconut flour, you can substitute with another tablespoon of almond flour.

      This was such a foolproof recipe and the results were 10/10! I stumbled across this recipe yesterday and was able to make them with everything I already had in my cupboard which was great. The inside texture is super fudgy and everything you’re looking for in a "healthy" blondie. Can’t wait to make these again!
