Genius Blondies
(makes 15-20 squares)
1 1/2 cups chickpeas (1 can, drained and rinsed) (250g)
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 (20g) (see nutrition-info link below, for substitution ideas)
1/4 cup peanut butter (or other fat source) (see nutrition-info link below, for lower-cal options)
optional: 1/3 cup chocolate chips (Not “optional” if you’re CCK!)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Blend all ingredients (except chips) until very smooth. Mix in chips, and scoop into a greased (or tinfoil-lined) 8×8 pan. Bake 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. (Note: you can probably sub any white bean for the chickpeas)
Thanks to the flax, these blondies also offer omega-threes Smile.

i got the same stats as hers when i used 5g splenda instead of sugar + includes the choc chips! so omit if you don't want the extra calories, although it doesn't matter too much since you'll only be adding about 30g. I added 30g lindt 85% dark chocolate and it came to the above stats.
I didn't have flaxseed so I subbed oat bran and they were just as good, just as little lower in fat
