Chickpea Peanut Butter Blondies

I have a serious sweet tooth with this pregnancy! Maybe it means I'm having a boy this time, or maybe its just my true sugary ways getting the best of me! My litttle one has been bugging me to make my "Black Bean Brownies" for a few days but wanted to switch it up a little and give you all something new to try!!  So here it is! Your dairy-free, gluten-free, vegan, TOTALLY YUMMINESS Blondies.

Chickpea Peanut Butter Blondies

Ingredients:

1 (14oz) can Chickpeas (you could also use Garbonzo beans!)

1/2 Cup Organic Natural Peanut Butter

1/3 cup Pure Maple Syrup (you could add up to 2/3 cup but I found it too sweet)

1 1/2 Tsp Vanilla Extract

1Tsp Baking Powder

1/2 Dark Chocolate Chips (I used Carob Chips)

Directions: 

Preheat oven to 375.

In a blender, add all ingredients EXCEPT chocolate chips. Blend everything until smooth.  Fold in chocolate chips (I also threw in 1/4 cup hemp seeds for protein). Pour batter into greased 8x8 baking dish. 

Bake for 25-35 minutes. Cut into 9 pieces.

Let them cool before enjoying otherwise they will be gooey and fall apart! <--- at which point I ate them like this with a little ice cream!! Don't Judge.

Cinnamon Roll Oatmeal Cookies

So I recently discovered an allergy to dairy in our little family! This means diving even deeper into our journey with clean eating recipes, substituting good for the not so good and finding family favorites my picky little one will actually eat!

I have been a HUGE skeptic of dairy for a long time! I removed dairy (well about 75%) from my diet a few months back after discovering it was the cause of my acne!! So we have already made a few of the major switches but I still LOVED cheese....

So to start our transition, we decided to make some completely clean-eating DAIRY FREE cookies this afternoon!! Hope you love them as much as me....this pregnant momma ate 4 😂😂

Cinnamon Roll Oatmeal Cookies

Ingredients

1 Cup Quick Oats

3/4 Cup Quick Oats made into Oat Flour by blending really good (I used this as a flour substitute)

• 1.5 Tsp Baking Powder
• 1 Tsp Cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp Himalayan Salt
• 1 Tsp Vanilla extract
• 1 Ripe Banana
• 3 Tbsp Coconut Oil, melted and cooled to room temp.
• 1/3 cup Maple Syrup
• 3 Tbsp Egg Whites (or one large egg)

2 Tbsp Vegan Cream Cheese (yes, it actually tastes like cream cheese and has the same texture!!)

2 Tsp Almond Milk

1 Tsp Stevia 

1/4 tsp Vanilla

Directions

1. In a large bowl, mix together oats, oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. In a separate bowl, mash banana then add vanilla, egg, maple syrup, and oil.  Once blended, add to the dry mixture and combine together.  Place dough in refrigerator for 30 minutes.

2. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spray cookie sheet. Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough into your hand and slightly roll into ball, don't handle too much or your hands will warm your dough and it will melt.  Place ball into cookie sheet and press down slightly flat with a fork.

Take 14 cookies. Bake for 13-15 minutes. Cool 15 minutes on a cooling rack.

3. While cooling, Mix together last 4 ingredients in a small bowl. Whip until smooth.  Once cookies are cooled, drizzle the cream cheese into the cookies!
