Healthy Blondies

While this recipe may sound very strange with chickpeas, you have to try it before knocking it. I can't believe how rich and decadent these blondies turned out! Give them a try if you're searching for a healthy dessert. 

Ingredients

1 can of chickpeas (rinsed and drained)

3/4 tsp. of baking powder

1/8 teaspoon of baking soda

1/8 teaspoon of salt

3/4 cups of brown sugar

2 teaspoons of vanilla extract

1/4 cups of ground flax

1/4 cups of peanut butter

1/3 cups of chocolate chips

First, mash up the chickpeas. I used a potato masher but will next time try a blender or food processor.

Next, combine all ingredients (besides the chocolate chips) in a medium bowl and mix well until the batter has a smooth consistency. Stir in the chocolate chips. Pour batter into an 8x8 pan (either greased or lined with foil).Bake for 35-40 minutes at 350 degrees. While they make look undercooked when  you take them out, they will firm up a bit while cooling.

Enjoy!
