Today we are making different kinds of brownies, it’s low carb chickpea blondies with macadamia.
Main ingredients for chickpeas blondies are chickpeas, some wheat flour, baking powder, agave or maple syrup, egg, vanilla extract, ripe banana, and peanut butter or cashew butter.
If you want, you can add your favorite nut. I chose macadamia nuts for today’s recipe.
And remember, we are making blondies, so there’s no chocolate powder here. But, if you want to, you can add some chocolate chips or cacao powder.
Start by making batter in a food processor or in a high power blender. Add in cashew butter or peanut butter, cooked chickpeas, one ripe banana, an egg, some agave syrup and vanilla extract. Pop the top and blend until smooth.
In a mixing bowl add dry ingredients. Toss in oat flour, or you can use protein powder if you want, and add baking powder. Give it a quick stir and pour in the batter. Stir it up and add some macadamia nuts, or your choice of nuts. It will provide some nice crunch. Hazelnuts, almonds or some other nuts would go great with this recipe as well.
In a square baking pan lined with merchant paper, pour in the batter. Squeeze out a little bit with a spatula. Add some macadamia nuts on the top and bake in the oven at 350F for 25 minutes, or until the top gets golden brown color.
To make sure it is ready, get a toothpick and poke it, and if it comes out clean, it’s ready. When you take it out, leave it at room temperature to cool down a bit and firm up, before you start cutting.
The bad thing about this recipe is that it’s gonna be hard to stop yourself. I know you’re gonna love this recipe, and if you want more recipes like this, download the Fitmencook App on your phone and explore more healthy sweet recipes.
