Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Chickpea Blondies
I've been eyeing this recipe for quite some time. It's another great recipe from a blog called "Ambitious Kitchen". I told myself that if there was a can of chickpeas in the cupboard, then I could make this recipe. Otherwise, it was the Universe's way of telling me I did not need to bake ANYTHING!
As luck would have it, I had a can of chickpeas (a dented can marked down to $0.69, Organic Chickpeas from WalMart... Woo Hoo!). I had the batter whipped up and the oven pre-heated in no time at all. The house smelled HEAVENLY as these baked and cooled on the counter top.
When I make these again, I'll bake them a bit longer. The recipe calls for 20 to 25 minutes in the oven. I took mine out at about 22 minutes and, when I finally cut into them, they seemed a bit under done. The other change I would make is to reduce the salt a bit. The recipe calls for 1/2 teaspoon salt (I used kosher salt) and they seem a bit salty to me. As you can see, I used mini-chocolate chips in my blondies. I used only 1/4 cup and sprinkled a few more on top. The recipe calls for more but I find that just a few mini-chocolate chips goes a long way.

Before baking... the batter can be eaten raw since there are no eggs in the recipe. The batter is also very tasty. Of course I had to try it!
