You’re probably thinking that I’m obsessed with using chickpeas for baking?
Then yes, you’re right. I LOVE THEM!
Seriously though, they give such an incredible texture to your vegan treats without the need of using plenty of oil. Why wouldn’t you use them? 😉
So here is a new version of my chickpea blondies, but flavoured with lemon and blueberries for a more Summer touch 🙂
I had totally forgotten how good lemon was in sweet things! You’ll definitely see other yummy treats which include lemon this Summer!
RECIPE
Date caramel :
- 8 dates + ¼ cup milk
Blondies :
- 1 1/2 cup chickpeas
- ½ cup oats
- ½ tbsp peanut butter
- ½ tbsp shredded coconut
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp baking powder
- Zest of one lemon
- Juice of one lemon and water to make 1/3 cup
- ½ cup blueberries tossed in flour
Preheat your oven at 180c. and cover a baking tray with parchment paper.
Start to make the date caramel by blending the required ingredients. Then, simply add all the other ingredients in your blender and process until really smooth!
Put the mixture in a mixing bowl and add the blueberries. Stir until heavenly mixed and spread in your baking tray.
Bake for 25-30 min., let cool and enjoy!
You can easily keep them in an airtight container in your fridge for 3-4 days or longer in your freezer
