Prep Time5 minsCook Time20 minsTotal Time25 mins
 15 oz Chickpeas (1can), drained and rinsed
 ½ cup Sunbutter (May substitute peanut butter or almond butter if no nut allergies)
  cup Maple Syrup or Honey (or a combination)
 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
 ¼ tsp Baking Powder
 ¼ tsp Baking Soda
 ½ tsp Kosher Salt
 ½ tsp Cinnamon, ground
 1 Egg
  cup Chocolate Chips +2 tablespoons for top
 Cooking Spray
1

Preaheat oven to 350° F. Spray an 8x8 inch pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.

2

In a food processor, add all of the ingredients except chocolate chips and process until batter is smooth. This will take a few minutes to get the batter to a smooth consistency.

3

Using a spatula, fold in the 1/3 cup of chocolate chips.

4

Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Tap the bottom of the pan onto the counter a few times to get the batter level. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips on top of the batter.

5

Bake for 20-22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean and the edges are slightly browned. Take care to not over cook! The blondies may look slightly underdone and that is okay.

6

Allow blondies to cool for at least 10 minutes. Cut into squares and enjoy!

Note: Sunbutter has chlorophyll which reacts with the baking soda in this recipe and turns the blondies green as they cool! The green color makes these perfect for Halloween and a great science experiement for kids!
