BRUNETTES BAKE HEALTHY BLONDIES.

My cousin Amy came to stay the night and we had a girly slumber party fueled by fajitas, diet coke and healthified chocolate chip blondies!

This my first attempt at gluten free baking, after looking at several recipes online we went with something chocolatey and fudgey. But These are no ordinary blondies... they have no carbs and no saturated fats... their secret ingredient... chick peas, Yes, yes... Chickpeas. Sounds bizarre but trust, you need to try it before you judge me. This healthy dessert is packed with fiber and protein and was even tastier the morning after for breakfast. 

CHOCOLATE CHIP BLONDIES
1 Tins of chick peas
1 banana
1 egg white
1 tbsp honey
1/4 cup sweetener
2 tbsp peanut butter
Lotta chocolate chips
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract

• Preheat oven to 350°F /180°C, or gas mark 4. Lightly coat a baking pan with spray oil and line the bottom of the tin.
• In a bowl, combine chick peas and bananas and blend until perfectly smooth, scraping sides often. add egg, honey, sweetener and PB and continue to blend til all ingredients are well incorporated. add 1 tsp of baking powder and chocolate chips and gently fold in.
• Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes.
• slice up and serve up. delicious warm or cold.

Dont worry, you cannot taste the chick peas at all, It tastes like a gooey denser chocolate chip banana bread. Works out 72 calories for a generous slab. GLUTEN FREE CAN TASTE GOOD!

I adapted this recipe from two... this one by Allie and you can also make them vegan if you follow this recipe by Katie.
