Sunday has officially become my baking day. The second we get out of church I’m thinking about chocolate chips, peanut butter, and what I’m going to whip up today! After trying the 2 – Ingredient cookies two weeks ago I decided to continue on this “healthy” baking kick and try out another recipe I’ve been eyeing for awhile. I’ve seen this recipe on Pinterest as well as Instragram multiple times. So today was the day to finally try out these Chickpea Blondies. I looked at several versions then kinda made my own by mixing and matching with different ingredients. So not only are these blondies relatively healthy but they are also gluten free – huge perk for me! They are super simple to make – just throw all the ingredients minus the chocolate chips in the blender till the batter is smooth, stir in the chocolate chips, pour into a baking dish, and throw in the oven. They’re also a lot like the 2 – ingredient cookies as you can play around with the recipe. Next time I think I will add shredded coconut, dried cranberries, and white chocolate chips (have to have my chocolate). Or you could use sprinkles, walnuts, peanut butter chips, M&M’s, and the list goes on and on. So grab whatever mix-ins you have in your pantry and get baking!
