ORANGE-CHAMOMILE BLONDIES
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
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
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.

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.

Tips:
- Use the zest and juice of fresh oranges for the best flavor.
- 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.
- Bake the blondies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
- Let the blondies cool completely before cutting them into bars.
