High-Protein, Vegan Blondie using Chickpeas

7 ingredients, 3 simple steps, and a very healthy, fitness-friendly, vegan blondie. This is as easy and tasty as it gets!

THE BACKSTORY OF THIS RECIPE

I didn’t know what a blondie was until a while ago.

We don’t have blondies in Italy. But I came across this delicious, indulgent treat when I started lifting weights and was looking for high-protein snacks pre or post workouts.

Obviously, they were loaded with animal products and protein powders that I didn’t want to use. So I came up with my own simple, healthy version!

It will satisfy your sweet cravings and will also fill you with healthy fibres and micro-nutrients. So, what else would you want?!

INGREDIENTS FOR A VEGAN BLONDIE

To yield a batch of 6 squares, you will need:

• 240 gr of cooked chickpeas
• 2 cup of gluten-free oat flour (it’s simply blended oats in a food processor)
• 75 gr of chocolate chunks, plus 6 squares to decorate
• 2/3 cup of sweetener of choice
• 1/4 cup of coconut butter (coconut oil will work as well)
• 1/2 tsp of baking soda
• Vanilla extract and salt to taste

RECIPE PROCEDURE TO MAKE A VEGAN BLONDIE

• Blend your oats into a fine flour. Then add all your ingredients minus the chocolate. and blend until you have a smooth texture. Add the chocolate and pulse until you have nice small chunks of chocolate. This alone will make a great cookie dough by the way!

• Then, pour the batter into a baking dish lined with baking paper. And place your chocolate squares on top of the batter, pushing them slightly down.

• Bake for 25 mins in a preheated over at 180 degrees and until golden. Then, cut in squares and enjoy as often as you like!

I love the versatility of chickpeas and I promise, you won’t taste them!

You are getting in your cake intake one of your five a day.. how amazing is that? Vegan for the win!
