Pumpkin Chickpea Blondies (Vegan, Gluten-Free, and Dairy-Free)
Extra sweet, with a gooey, chocolate filled center—these Pumpkin Chickpea Blondies are an addicting healthy fall treat!
Ingredients
- 1 Can Chickpeas
- 1/2 Cup Pumpkin Puree
- 1/2 Cup Maple Syrup
- 1 Tablespoon Nut Butter
- 2 Teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1 Teaspoon Salt
- 1 1/2 Cups Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 375℉.
- In a food processor or high-powered blender, combine the chickpeas, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, nut butter, baking powder, and salt. Blend the mixture on high until it is completely smooth.
- Once the batter is smooth, gently fold in 1 cup of the chocolate chips. Be sure you evenly distribute the chocolate throughout the blondies.
- Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. This will prevent the blondies from sticking to the dish and make it easier to remove them after baking. Pour the prepared batter into the greased or lined baking dish. Use a spatula to spread the batter evenly, ensuring it reaches all corners and is smooth on top.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of chocolate chips evenly over the top of the batter. This creates a delightful chocolatey top layer!
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes. The blondies are done when they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean. Slice into squares and enjoy!
