Ingredients
 

  • One 15.5-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • ½ cup almond butter
  • ⅓ cup honey
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 Tablespoon avocado oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ⅓ cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • ⅓ cup chopped pecans, optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Spray an 8-inch square pan with oil spray or line with parchment paper with overhang for easy removal.
  • Place all the ingredients except for the chocolate chips (and pecans, if using) in a food processor or blender and process until the batter is smooth and creamy. It comes together quick.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips and optional pecans. (The batter should be thick.) Pour batter in prepared pan and smooth with spatula or back of spoon to evenly distribute.
  • Bake in oven for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the edges are a tiny bit brown. Let the blondies cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes before slicing.

Notes

You can enjoy these delicious treats immediately—they’re like a warm and gooey cross between brownies and cookie dough! Or, let them firm in the pan (on the counter or in the fridge) a few hours or overnight for a more traditional chewy blondie texture.
*If using pecans, add about 15 calories per square.
