I have to admit—my family was a little on the fence about these at first. Chickpeas… in dessert? But I’m always asked for healthier sweet treats made with simple, whole-food ingredients, and these blondies absolutely delivered.

These Chocolate Chip Chickpea Blondies are soft, a little fudgy, and taste just like a peanut butter chocolate chip cookie—perfectly sweet without being overly sugary. The best part? No one will guess they’re packed with fiber-rich chickpeas and oats. It’s a delicious example of Mediterranean-style baking: simple pantry staples, naturally sweetened, and made with real ingredients you can feel good about. And they come together so quickly all in the food processor or blender.

Why you’ll love them:

  • Made with natural, simple ingredients

  • Gluten-free

  • Easy to make in a food processor or blender

  • Soft, fudgy texture

  • Perfectly sweet (not overly sweet)

  • Hidden fiber from chickpeas and oats

  • A Mediterranean-inspired treat with oats + chickpeas + nut butter + dark chocolate

These chickpea blondies prove that healthy desserts don’t have to taste “healthy.” They’re rich, satisfying, and perfect for sharing—or keeping in the fridge or freezer for a sweet bite all week long.
