Snickerdoodle Chickpea Blondies (Flourless)
Description
Snickerdoodle Chickpea Blondies combine chickpeas processed into a smooth batter with eggs, vanilla, melted coconut oil, and brown sugar. Baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg add leavening and spiced depth reminiscent of snickerdoodle cookies. The batter is topped with a cinnamon sugar mixture before baking in a foil-lined pan, allowing the bars to develop a sweet crust.
The bars bake for 40 minutes, yielding a firm, chewy blondie with a soft interior and a sugared topping that offers textural contrast. These bars present a creative way to incorporate chickpeas into a dessert, acting as a flour substitute while providing moisture and structure.
Cool completely before cutting to maintain shape and serve as a snack or dessert alternative with cinnamon sugar sweetness and a unique chickpea base.
