Ingredients

For the blondies

  • 400 g tin of chickpeas drained and rinsed
  • 125 g natural, smooth peanut butter
  • 4 tbsp milk of choice
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 90 ml maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 50 g chocolate chips

For the chocolate drizzle

  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 4-5 tbsp water depending on desired consistency

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C/400°f/gas mark 6. Grease a shallow baking tin.

  2. Place the chickpeas in a blender with the peanut butter, milk, vanilla, maple syrup, salt, baking powder and bicarbonate soda. Mix until smooth consistency.

  3. Stir in the chocolate chips, then transfer the batter into the baking tin.

  4. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until sides start to colour. Set aside for 15 minutes before turning onto a wire rack to cool. 

  5. In the meantime, make the chocolate sauce. Mix together the cocoa powder, maple syrup and add the water until it's perfect for your chocolate drizzle. 

  6. Cut into 12 squares and add your chocolate drizzle, and some additional peanut butter, if desired. 

  7. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. Enjoy!
