Equipment

  • Food processor*

Ingredients

Wet ingredients:

  • 1 (15 oz) can (265 g) chickpeas rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) plant-based milk
  • 1/2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/3 cup (80 g) nut butter or seed butter of choice (I used cashew butter)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Dry ingredients:

Instructions

  • I recommend using a kitchen scale for this recipe. Check the video in the blog post for easy visual instructions.
    Preheat the oven to 360 degrees F (180 degrees C) and line a baking pan (my pan measures 9"x6" / 23 x 15 cm) with parchment paper.
  • Process all wet ingredients in a food processor or blender until smooth.
  • Add all dry ingredients (except the chocolate chips) and mix again (don't overmix though).
  • Now add the chocolate chips and stir with a spoon.
  • Spoon the batter into the prepared baking pan. Top with more chocolate chips or chocolate chunks.
  • Bake in the oven for about 25-35 minutes (it can take some minutes more or less, depending on your oven and the size of your baking dish). I have a gas oven and baked them for about 27 minutes, and they were still a bit underbaked (which I love though!).
  • Let cool and cut into bars. They will be still soft at first, but firm up more once cooled down. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Almond flour: You can use any ground nuts instead of ground almonds/almond flour. For a nut-free version, try ground hemp seeds or ground shredded unsweetened coconut. I wouldn't recommend coconut flour since it contains less fat than almond flour and furthermore absorbs a lot of liquid.
  • Any nut butter like peanut butter, cashew butter works fine. For a nut-free version, use coconut butter. I wouldn't recommend sunflower seed butter as it will turn the blondies green unless you leave out the baking powder and baking soda.
  • Sugar: Any granulated sugar like organic cane sugar, coconut sugar, etc. will work. I used Xylitol, but you can probably also use Erythritol.
