These Vegan Chickpea Blondies taste so deliciously doughy you would never guess they’re free of gluten, dairy and refined sugar. Besides that, they’re also full of wholesome ingredients. Ingredients that are loaded with both protein and iron.

Now I know, there are probably a few of skeptics out there thinking Chickpeas in a Blondie? Yeah right. But trust me folks. The addition of chickpeas make the base of this Vegan Chickpea Blondies recipe so soft cakey. And you best believe any chickpea taste is completely covered up by the addition of peanut butter, and sweetener.

I had a Blond(ie) moment this morning as i was explaining this dish to a friend of mine. I have only just realised why they’re called Blondies! So, just incase there is anyone (even just 1 person) out there that didn’t know this rather obvious information… I will share it with you all.

A Brownie is called a Brownie because of its Brown color (duhh). So in saying this, Blondies are essentially a Brownie without the Cacao!

Light go on in your head? Me too.

Blonde moments aside, these Blondies are quite literally fool proof. As long as you have a food processor to combine all your ingredients, that’s pretty much all you need to do. Plus the baking of course. But you know what? I couldve eaten the whole mixture RAW. It tasted just like cookie dough, and what’s great is because the ingredients are completely vegan, it would be safe to do so. So, if you don’t have an oven or prefer yourself some cookie dough by the spoonful. Then just skip the last step and roll these into balls , refrigerate and enjoy.
