Honestly… these tasted SO good.
I love making swaps like this, taking a sweet treat and making it a little more nourishing, with fibre and plant protein. Rather than reaching for ultra-processed treats with a never-ending ingredient list.
Healthy eating doesn’t have to mean giving up the things you love.
CHICKPEA BLONDIES
Ingredients:
1 tin chickpeas
110g maple syrup
90g almond flour
50g melted butter
100g chocolate
1 tsp vanilla powder
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp Himalayan pink salt
1. Drain + rinse your chickpeas REALLY well. This is important for avoiding any chickpea flavour.
2. Melt your 50g butter.
3. Add chickpeas, maple syrup, vanilla, melted butter and salt to a food processor.
4. Blend until completely smooth. Give it a good minute or two to avoid any chickpea texture.
5. Add almond flour + baking powder and pulse until combined.
6. Chop up your chocolate bar into small chunks, then fold through into the mixture.
7. Pour into a lined brownie tin.
8. Bake at 180°C for around 25–30 minutes.
Enjoy! ✨✨
