Soft, chewy blondies made with chickpeas, peanut butter, oat flour, and protein powder for a satisfying sweet treat with a little extra staying power.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup oat flour
  • 1/3 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips, plus 1 tablespoon for the top

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8 x 8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Add the chickpeas, peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, oat flour, vanilla protein powder, baking powder, and salt to a food processor.
  3. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
  4. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Fold in 1/3 cup of the chocolate chips before spreading if you have not already, then sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon over the top.
  5. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the center looks set.
  6. Let the blondies cool completely in the pan so they can firm up properly.
  7. Slice into 12 squares and serve.

Notes

  • Blend the batter fully for the smoothest texture.
  • Do not overbake, the blondies continue to set as they cool.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
  • Freeze sliced bars with parchment between layers for longer storage.
