Flourless Chickpea Pumpkin Blondies
Seriously, trust me on this one!
Using chickpeas in place of flour makes for a healthy and delicious dessert…I promise
I make my chickpea chocolate chip cookie recipe all the time, everyone loves them! They are great for both vegans and gluten-free diets. I thought I’d mix it up for the fall and add in pumpkin and spice. I’m glad I did, they were a score. We’re going on batch number 3 of these in my house! The pumpkin inspiration came from Keeping it Kind.
A blender and only one bowl is needed to create these protein packed powerhouse blondies! They make a great dessert, but can also be an energizing snack! The fiber and protein hold you over until the next meal. I’m not ashamed to say I even eat them for breakfast! At 140 calories, 4 grams of protein and 3 grams of fiber each, why not?!?
