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.

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 tablespoons unsalted butter, one stick
1 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
two large eggs
2 tablespoons fresh squeezed orange juice, one medium orange
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 3/4 cup unbleached flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon grated orange zest
1/2 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips, optional

Steps:

1. grease a 9 x 9" baking pan with butter. Dust with flour and shake out the excess. Preheat the oven to 350°.
2. Melt the butter and sugar in a small pan over low heat, stirring frequently. When blended and smooth, remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
3. Transfer the butter mixture to a medium mixing bowl. Beat in the eggs until completely blended. Add the orange juice and vanilla and mix thoroughly.
4. Measure the flour, baking powder, and salt and then sift together directly into the batter. Mix gently until well combined and no trace of the dry ingredients remains.
5. Using a wooden spoon, stir in the orange zest, walnuts, and if desired, chocolate chips. Spread the batter evenly into prepared baking pan. Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with only crumbs, not batter, on it. The top should be Golden Brown and the edges pulling away from sides of the pan. Remove from the oven and let cool on a rack for one hour. Cut just before serving. Makes 12 to 16 bars.
