Ingredients
1 can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed3/4 tsp baking powder 1/8 tsp baking sodaheaping 1/8 tsp salt3/4 cup brown sugar1-2 tsp vanilla extract1/4 cup ground flax1/4 cup peanut butter1/3 cup dark chocolate chips
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Blend all ingredients (except chips) until very smooth. Mix in chips, and scoop into a greased (or tinfoil-lined) 8×8 pan. Bake for 38-40 minutes. You want the blondies to look a little undercooked when you take them out, because they’ll firm up as they cool, and you don’t want them to get hard. (Note: you can probably sub any white bean for the chickpeas)

    Good...but I wish there was more directions - doesn't really indicate what needs to be done to the chickpeas - 1/24/12

    If you're using canned, open can, drain,(like I said next to the "canned" in the ingredients) and blend. If using bagged, cook according to package, and blend. Blend as in food processor, or blender. I'm not sure what other "directions" you might mean...
