You would never know there's chickpeas in these sweet fudgy Chickpea Blondies.
I love sneaking healthy ingredients into recipes where you don't know that they're in there. These Chickpea Blondies have not only chickpeas, but peanut butter and oat flour as well. They are a filling snack or dessert.
Chickpeas make a great addition to bars because they add a creamy texture as well as help to hold the bars together.

How to Make This Recipe
Mix chickpeas, oat flour, peanut butter, maple syrup, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt in a food processor. If you don't have oat flour, you can make it by grinding rolled oats in a food processor or Nutribullet with the milling blade.
Fold in chocolate chips, reserving ¼ cup for the top.
Line a baking dish with parchment paper. Spread mixture into the baking dish. Sprinkle the rest of the chocolate chips on top and push them into the bars.
Bake for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.

Tips
- If you have a peanut allergy you could use another nut butter or a seed butter.
- As always, taste as you go. You may want more salt than I've included, or less chocolate chips. Just keep in mind wet to dry ingredient ratios. If you want more maple syrup for example, you will be adding more moisture.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge. They will last about a week, if you can control yourself!

I love these Pyrex baking dishes! I used a 7 ½" x 9 ½" baking dish for this recipe. It's great because it comes with a cover, so I can put it in the fridge.
