Instructions

Preheat the oven at 350℉/180℃.
Line a 8in x 8in (20cm x 20cm) tin with parchment paper.
Add the chickpeas, almond butter, maple syrup, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, vanilla and egg to a food processor container or a high-powered blender. Pulse 5-10 times to break down the chickpeas, and then process on high until smooth.
Gently mix the dark chocolate chips into the batter with a spatula.
Pour the batter into the lined baking tin. Spread the batter with a spatula so you have one even layer covering the bottom of the tin.
Sprinkle the batter with the remaining chocolate chips and a pinch of coarse salt.
Insert the tin into the oven, and bake for 20-25 minutes until the batter no longer jiggles. Your blondies should be golden brown around the edges of the tin.
Makes 9-12 squares.
