Time 57m

Yield 9 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
1 can chickpeas, rinsed and skins removed
½ cup chunky peanut butter, or nut butter of choice
⅓ cup granulated sugar
2 large egg yolks
1 tablespoon cream cheese
1 tablespoon McCormick® vanilla extract
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon McCormick® Ground Cinnamon
¼ teaspoon McCormick® ground allspice
½ cup chocolate chips, or chopped chocolate - a mix of milk and dark
½ cup walnuts, toasted and chopped
¼ cup golden raisin

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease an 8-inch square glass baking dish with nonstick spray.
In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, peanut butter, sugar, egg yolks, cream cheese, vanilla, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, and allspice. Purée until smooth and well-combined, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl at least once, 1-2 minutes.
Use a rubber spatula to scrape the mixture into a medium bowl. Add the chocolate, walnuts, and raisins and stir to combine.
Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish and spread as evenly as possible, all the way to the corners of the dish.
Bake the blondies for 22-24 minutes, until lightly browned around the edges and a toothpick or cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool for 30-45 minutes before slicing, to allow the blondies to set.
Slice into 9 or 12 pieces, then serve.
Enjoy!
