Vegan Blondies
from Jenny Sugar
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon flaxmeal
3 tablespoons water
1 15-ounce can white beans, rinsed and drained (or chickpeas)
1/2 cup all-natural almond butter (or peanut butter)
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/3 cup coconut sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/3 cup chocolate chips
1/3 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional but recommended!)
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper.
- Mix the flaxmeal and water together in a small bowl and set aside.
- Add the beans, almond butter, oats, coconut sugar, vanilla, salt, baking powder, and baking soda to a food processor. Mix several for minutes until a smooth dough forms. Add the flaxmeal mixture and mix for another 30 seconds.
- Fold in some of the chocolate chips and nuts, reserving some for the top.
- The dough will be thick. Use a spatula to spread the dough into the prepared pan.
- Add a few chocolate chips and chopped pecans on top and bake for 22 to 28 minutes, until the blondies look slightly firm and lightly browned.
- Cool the pan on a rack in the fridge for 20 minutes before cutting. Store blondies in an airtight container.
