Healthy Blondies

• 1 1/2 cups chickpeas (1 250g can, drained and rinsed) *OR white bean of choice*
• 3/4 tsp baking powder
• 1/8 tsp baking soda
• heaping 1/8 tsp salt
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1-2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup ground flax
• 1/4 cup peanut butter
• optional: 1/3 cup chocolate chips

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Blend all ingredients (except chips) until very smooth. Mix in chips, and scoop into a greased 8×8 pan.
2. Bake in preheated oven for 38-40 minutes. You want the blondies to look a little undercooked when you take them out, because they’ll firm up as they cool, and you don’t want them to get hard. Let cool, slice, serve and ENJOY!
