Ingredients
  

Batter
  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas drained and rinsed
  • 0.5 cup almond butter smooth
  • 0.33 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.5 tsp baking powder
  • 0.25 tsp baking soda
  • 0.25 tsp sea salt
  • 0.5 cup vegan chocolate chips divided

Equipment

  • Food processor
  • 8x8 baking pan
  • Parchment paper
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a food processor, combine drained chickpeas, almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt. Process until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down sides as needed.
  3. Transfer batter to a bowl and gently fold in ⅓ cup of the vegan chocolate chips.
  4. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle remaining chocolate chips on top and press lightly.
  5. Bake 22–27 minutes until edges are golden and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
  6. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Chill 30 minutes for clean cuts, then slice into 9 squares.

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 5 days or freeze for 3 months. These blondies taste even better the next day!
