Why Chickpeas Work So Well In Blondies

Chickpeas are the ultimate healthy baking secret weapon. They create a soft, fudgy texture while adding fiber and protein to every bite. Combined with naturally sweet applesauce and nutty peanut flour, they become the base of a blondie that’s rich, satisfying, and surprisingly decadent.

It’s basically kitchen wizardry.

How To Make 3-Ingredient Peanut Butter Blondies

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Add the applesauce and chickpeas to a food processor and blend until completely smooth.
  • Add the peanut flour and blend again until a thick, smooth batter forms.
  • If you’d like a sweeter blondie, blend in the date syrup.
  • Spray an 8×8 baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Transfer the batter to the dish and spread evenly.
  • Bake for 35 minutes.
  • Let the blondies cool completely before slicing and serving.

Tips For The Best Blondies

  • Blend the chickpeas completely smooth to avoid any bean texture.
  • Allow the blondies to cool fully before cutting since they firm up as they cool.
  • For extra indulgence, sprinkle a few chocolate chips on top before baking.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Serving Ideas

These blondies are delicious straight from the fridge, slightly warmed with a drizzle of peanut butter, or crumbled over yogurt for a protein-packed dessert situation.

They’re also perfect for meal prep because they taste even better the next day.

  29. These look deeeeeee-lish!! I did think from the title, that they would be made with peanut butter (which I have) instead of peanut flour (which I don’t have). Wonder how they would taste with peanut butter instead of flour?
