Categories     dessert

Time 1h

Yield 16 squares

Number Of Ingredients 13

Nonstick cooking spray
One 15.5-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup almond butter
1/3 cup honey
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons dried chamomile (about 5 chamomile tea bags)
1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons orange zest (from 1 orange)
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/3 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8-inch square pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Place the chickpeas, almond butter, honey, vanilla, chamomile, orange zest, canola oil, salt, baking powder and baking soda in a food processor or blender and process until the batter is smooth and creamy. Fold in the chocolate chips and optional pecans (the batter should be thick). Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread into the corners with a spatula.
  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the edges are a tiny bit brown. Let the blondies cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
  • Note: You can enjoy these delicious treats immediately--they're like a warm and gooey cross between brownies and cookie dough! Or, let them firm in the pan (on the counter or in the fridge) a few hours or overnight, for a more traditional chewy blondie texture.

ORANGE BLONDIES



Orange Blondies image

When I got this recipe from a lady at church it was called orange brownies but since there is no chocolate I thought blondies was more appropriate. It comes from a Lady and Son's cookbook. It also came with a glaze but instead she uses a cream cheese frosting. It is rich but very good, this comes from someone that only tried them because there was no chocolate at the buffet table.

MAPLE-WALNUT BLONDIES



Maple-Walnut Blondies image

An autumnal riff on classic blondies, these are a treat for the true maple fanatic. Adding maple syrup to the batter and toasting the walnuts in maple syrup gives the blondies double the maple flavor, while a splash of bourbon in the batter mellows the sweetness. Make sure to underbake these slightly: The key to moist, chewy blondies is to take them out just before they're fully baked. Refrigerate the blondies for optimal chewiness; they're especially good straight from the fridge.

Time 30m

Yield 9 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup/115 grams unsalted butter (1 stick), melted, plus more for greasing the pan
3/4 cup/165 grams light brown sugar, lightly packed
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 large egg
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon bourbon (optional)
1 cup/130 grams all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of ground nutmeg
1/2 cup/50 grams walnuts or pecans
1 tablespoon maple syrup
Pinch of kosher salt

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8-by-8-inch pan with butter and line with parchment paper, leaving overhang on two sides.
  • Make the optional maple nuts: In a small sauté pan, heat the walnuts, 1 tablespoon maple syrup and a pinch of salt over medium heat. Cook, tossing often, until the nuts are lightly toasted and the bottom of the pan looks dry, about 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer the walnuts to a cutting board to cool, roughly chop, and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine the 1/2 cup butter, brown sugar, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, egg, vanilla and bourbon, if using, and whisk until smooth. Add the flour, salt, baking powder and nutmeg, and stir with a wooden spoon until just combined.
  • Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and smooth with a spatula. Sprinkle the walnuts, if using, evenly on top. Bake for 21 to 23 minutes, until the bars are just starting to brown at the edges. They should seem slightly underbaked and will firm up as they cool.
  • Sprinkle the blondies lightly with salt, allow to cool to room temperature in the pan. When completely cool, remove from the pan using the parchment paper, then cut into squares and serve.

  • If you don't have walnuts, you can use another type of nut, such as pecans or almonds.
  • Be sure to toast the walnuts before using them. This will bring out their flavor and make them more fragrant.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the blondies tough.
