This tasty dessert is hiding something. Under all that pumpkin goodness is a healthy serving of chickpeas, but you would never know it! Chickpeas are a fantastic source of dietary fiber as well as plant-based protein. One cup contains nearly 10 grams of fiber and 11 grams of protein, making these blondies as healthy as they are delicious. Ingredients 15.5 ounces chickpeas (garbanzo beans), rinsed and drained ½ cup pumpkin purée ½ cup almond or oat flour 1 tbsp Happy Fiber or Goddess Glow Beauty Collagen ½ cup peanut butter (or other nut butter) ⅓ cup maple syrup 1 tsp baking powder ½ tsp vanilla extract ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice ½ tsp salt Instructions Preheat the oven to 350°. Mix all the ingredients in a food processor. With a wooden spoon, fold the mixture to mix in any unincorporated parts. Line a 7 ½" x 9 ½" (or similar size) baking dish with baking paper. Spread the mixture in the pan. Top with any additions you like, i.e. walnuts. Bake at 350° for 35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. (Recipe adapted from Create Mindfully)
