CHICKPEA BLONDIE BITES

What I love most about this recipe is it’s quick and easy. These are mainly non-perishable ingredients you can keep in the pantry. Throw everything into the food processor so there’s no worry about dry and liquid sides, dirtying up extra bowls etc. I’m telling you, make these and comment below when you do!

Traditionally these would be categorized as more of a dessert, but for me these make a great snack. You can adjust this recipe based on your taste buds.The sweetness can be adjusted by adding more or less dark chocolate into the batter (and on top) or adding more or less honey. I prefer these on the less sweet side so I can eat them as a regular snack, but feel free to adjust accordingly. The batter is delicious to snack on so taste it before you bake it!

Chickpeas are a great source of plant based protein. These complex carbohydrates are slowly digested ensuring blood sugar levels don’t spike the same way they would from eating a traditional sugar laden simple carbohydrate blondie. Enjoy this delicious healthier treat! 🙂
