Chickpea Blondie

This recipe is refined sugar-free and very filling, as it is rich in fiber and protein. To make a baby-weaning-friendly version that everyone can enjoy at home, simply omit the chocolate chips.

What makes these blondies so great is the nutritional powerhouse of ingredients hidden inside:

  • Chickpeas: provides a dose of plant-based protein and dietary fiber, making these treats deeply satisfying while giving them a dense, fudgy texture.
  • Dates and Bananas: Act as natural, whole-food sweeteners. Dates are packed with antioxidants and fiber, while bananas add potassium and essential moisture without the need for refined syrups or sugars.
  • Peanut Butter: Adds heart-healthy fats and extra protein, keeping the blondies rich and decadent.
  • Oat Flour: A great source of complex carbohydrates and soluble fiber, which helps keep your energy levels steady.

Courses:
Ingredients
  • 2 cups cooked chickpeas
  • 1 banana (chopped)
  • 3 tbsp peanut butter
  • 75 g dates (pitted)
  • 40 g oat flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • Vegan chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
  1. 1
    Pit the dates and soak them in a small bowl with just enough hot water to cover them. Let them sit for a few minutes to soften.
  2. 2
    In a food processor, combine the peanut butter, chopped banana, and soaked dates. Process until the mixture is smooth.
  3. 3
    Add the oat flour, cooked chickpeas, and baking powder to the food processor. Blend again until everything is fully incorporated and forms a smooth batter.
  4. 4
    Pour the batter into a baking container or pan. If you are using vegan chocolate chips, fold them in or sprinkle them on top.
  5. 5
    Bake in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for 25–30 minutes.
  6. 6

    For best results and texture, let the blondies cool completely overnight (in the fridge) before slicing and serving.
