Macadamia blondies
These gooey and fudgy macadamia nut blondies are completely vegan and only take five minutes to throw together before baking in the oven.
Serves: 12
Time to make: 30 mins
Hands-on time: 5 mins
Ingredients
- spray oil, to grease
- 400g can chickpeas, drained
- ⅔ cup no-added-sugar peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg (optional)
- ⅓ cup brown rice malt syrup
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup self-raising flour
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ cup macadamia nuts, roughly chopped
Instructions
1 Heat the oven to 180ºC/160ºC/gas 4. Line the base and sides of a 11cm wide x 7cm high loaf tin with non-stick baking paper and spray with oil.
2 Put all the ingredients except the macadamia nuts in a food processor and blend until smooth. Remove the blade from the food processor, then add the nuts to the bowl. Roughly stir with a spoon to combine.
3 Transfer the mixture to the loaf tin and spread evenly. Bake for 20–25 min until golden and the middle is just firm but still a little squidgy.
4 Remove from the oven and leave to cool. Slice into 6, then cut each slice in half again.
