CHICKPEA BLONDIE

This Single-Serve Chickpea Blondie is a guilt-free treat that offers a deliciously rich, nutty flavour with a soft, cake-like texture. The Chickpea Blondie combines creamy almond butter with mashed chickpeas, honey (or maple syrup) and a touch of vanilla. This recipe is both satisfying and nutritious. The chickpeas add a surprising boost of fibre and protein, while almond butter adds healthy fats and a subtle nuttiness with just a pinch of baking powder. This dessert bakes into a fluffy yet dense blondie that’s perfect for a healthy snack, dessert, or on-the-go treat made in a single serving. It is great for portion control and is naturally gluten-free.

INGREDIENTS

There are the following ingredients for Single-Serve Chickpea Blondie:

  • 30g cooked chickpeas, mashed
  • 15g almond butter
  • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
  • ¼ tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of baking powder

  • Carbohydrates: 9g
  • Protein: 3g
  • Fat: 7g
  • Fibre: 2g
  • Sugar: 4g
  • Sodium: 20mg

PREPARATION

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a small ramekin or oven-safe dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  • Prepare Chickpeas: In a bowl, mash the cooked chickpeas until smooth. A fork works well for this, or use a food processor for a softer texture.
  • Combine Ingredients: Add the almond butter, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and baking powder to the mashed chickpeas. Mix well until you have a smooth, even batter.
  • Pour Batter: Spoon the batter into the prepared ramekin, spreading it evenly to ensure an even bake.
  • Bake: Place the ramekin in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the blondie is golden on the edges and set in the middle. A toothpick inserted should come out mostly clean.
  • Cool And Enjoy: Allow the blondie to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm on its own or with a dollop of Greek yoghurt for extra creaminess.

PREP TIME

5 minutes

COOKING TIME

12-15 minutes

TIPS

  • Smooth Batter: For a smoother blondie texture, use a food processor to blend the chickpeas with the other ingredients. This removes any chickpea lumps, creating a creamier finish.
  • Line The Ramekin: Use parchment paper to line the baking dish for easy removal and cleanup.
  • Test For Doneness: Insert a toothpick into the centre; if it comes out with only a few crumbs, the blondie is ready.

VARIATIONS

  • Chocolate Addition: Add a few dark chocolate chips to the batter for a rich, chocolatey twist.
  • Nutty Boost: Stir in a few chopped walnuts or pecans for an extra crunch and add healthy fats.
  • Spiced Flavour: Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for a warming spiced version, ideal for autumn.
  • Coconut Option: Sprinkle a small amount of shredded coconut on top for a tropical flavour.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Fridge: Store leftover blondie in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave for about 10 seconds to soften before eating.
  • Freezer: For longer storage, wrap the baked blondie tightly in plastic wrap and store it in a freezer-safe bag for up to 1 month. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
