Have you tried the Michael Phelps diet? Because I’m starting to think I’m on it… Decadent desserts are taking over my life.
Not like that’s a bad thing, of course, I sort of welcome it 😉
Kinda like how I welcomed these blondies into my mouth kitchen.
Lately, all I’ve wanted are some darn good, buttery, sugary blondies. Except I don’t want the butter, the sugar and the guilt that go along with one, or in my case, three (oh, I can never stop at one). I set out to healthify a blondie recipe, but after two failed attempts I cheated and took my black bean brownie recipe and swapped a couple ingredients. I used chickpeas instead of black beans and oat flour instead of cocoa powder and quinoa flour. The result? Aaahmazing!
These healthy blondies satisfied my cravings in every way possible, they were absolutely delicious.
Chewy, sweet, buttery and… healthy? Oh yes. It’s like a nutrition bomb hiding in a sinful-looking and sinful-tasting package.
I don’t feel bad about eating three in a row one bit. In fact, I’m proud of myself for indulging healthfully 😀
Healthy Blondies
I originally wasn’t going to share the recipe here because I worked so incredibly hard on publishing Naughty or Nice. But, I understand not having a recipe here can be frustrating. So, I’ll meet you halfway… how does that sound? I’ll show you all the ingredients I use in the recipe. That way, you can determine on your own whether or not the cookbook is for you!
