Dark Chocolate-Frosted Almond Butter Chickpea Blondies

Author Notes: Classic blondies re-done and amped up with protein and fiber, but still sweet as ever and topped with a creamy dark chocolate frosting. —Hungry Haley
Serves 8
For the blondies
-
15
ounces can chickpeas, drained and rinsed (I recommend peeling the skins off, too)
-
1/2
cup creamy almond butter
-
1/3
cup maple syrup
-
1
teaspoon vanilla extract
-
3
tablespoons coconut oil
-
3
tablespoons oat flour
-
1
teaspoon sea salt
For the dark chocolate frosting
-
2/3
cup dark chocolate chips
-
1/2
cup almond butter
- Preheat the oven to 350F and grease a 8x4 baking pan with coconut oil.
- Toss the chickpeas, almond butter, and maple syrup in a blender and pulse until smooth. Add coconut oil, vanilla extract, oat flour, and sea salt and pulse again until smooth. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the blender.
- Pour batter into prepared baking pan and use a spatula to spread (it will be thick). Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until golden brown on top and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Prepare the frosting by melting the chocolate chips either in the microwave or using a double-boiler. Stir in the almond butter and cool slightly.
- Pour the frosting over the cooled blondies and refrigerate until the frosting is firm (about 2-3 hours).
- Slice and serve. Enjoy!
