Instructions
Prepare and Blend
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and grease an 8x8 inch baking pan. Add the drained chickpeas, peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and baking powder to a food processor. Blend for 2 to 3 minutes until the batter is completely smooth with absolutely no chunks remaining.
Fold in Chocolate Chips
Transfer the blended batter to a mixing bowl. Fold in most of the chocolate chips, reserving a small handful for the top. The batter will be thick which is normal and indicates the right consistency for fudgy blondies.
Bake Until Set
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan using a spatula. Scatter the reserved chocolate chips over the top and press them in lightly. Bake for 22 to 25 minutes until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
Cool Before Cutting
Remove from the oven and allow the blondies to cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes before cutting. This cooling time is critical because the blondies firm up significantly as they cool and will fall apart if cut too early. Cut into 12 squares and serve.
