Preparation

Coconut Chickpea Blondies

1. Preheat oven to 350ºF (177ºC) and brush a baking dish with coconut oil (use an 8x8 pan

for 16 blondies).

2. Add all ingredients to a food processor and process until smooth.

3. Spread the batter evenly into the pan. (The batter will be very sticky, so brushing a

spatula with coconut oil first will help.) Sprinkle extra coconut over the top and press in

gently.

4. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean and edges are slightly

browned. Let cool for 20 minutes, then cut into squares. Enjoy!
