Dark Chocolate & Raspberry Chickpea Blondies

Rich, fudgy, and loaded with 11g of protein, these blondies are a revamped version of one of our first-ever sweet recipes from 12 years ago, and an irresistible way to enjoy your Easter chocolate!

SERVES: 1 tray of blondies

TIME: 40 minutes

INGREDIENTS

400g tin of chickpeas, drained & rinsed

100g ground almonds

100g coconut sugar

9 tablespoons of almond butter

4 tablespoons of maple syrup

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

1 punnet of raspberries (about 200g)

Handful of nuts, roughly chopped (about 50g)

Pinch of flaky sea salt (to taste)

50g 70% cocoa dark chocolate

METHOD

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C fan. Line a small baking tray with baking parchment.

2. Place the chickpeas, ground almonds, coconut sugar, almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract and a pinch of salt in a food processor; blitz until smooth.

3. Add the hazelnuts to the food processor and pulse briefly until just combined.

4. Tip the mixture onto the baking tray, smooth out into an even layer and scatter over the raspberries. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until cooked at the edges but still soft in the middle. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool in the tin.

5. Gently melt the chocolate (if using) in the microwave on a low heat or in a bain marie; use a spoon to drizzle over the blondie. Set aside briefly to let the chocolate set before slicing into squares.
