Many people look at blondies as the lesser cousin of the brownie, but these** Gluten
Free Chickpea And Walnut Blondies** stand on their own. Not only are they gluten
free, they’re also super fudge-y, buttery and laced with cinnamon. So many delicious
flavours, we don’t even know where to start!

### Ingredients

 * .3 cup Walnuts-finely chopped, plus more for topping
 * 600 grams Chickpeas-or about 1.5 cans, drained and rinsed
 * 1.5 tbsp Vanilla extract
 * 1.5 tsp Cinnamon
 * 0.25 cup Butter-melted
 * 3 tbsp Maple syrup
 * 0.3 cup Brown sugar
 * 0.5 tsp Salt
 * 0.5 tsp Baking powder

[[

### Directions

 * Preheat oven to 175C.
 * In a food processor add the chickpeas and puree until mixture has a smooth consistency.
 * Pour this chickpea mixture in a bowl along with the vanilla, eggs, maple syrup
   and butter. In another bowl mix together the sugar, cinnamon, salt and baking
   powder.
 * Mix the dry into the wet mixture, adding in the walnut pieces as you go.
 * Pour the mixture into a greased pan, about 15 x 15cm for thicker blondies and
   20 x 20cm for thinner ones. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the top and centre 
   of the blondies are firm.
 * Remove from oven and allow to cool for a moment before topping with additional
   whole walnuts, pressing them into the top gently.

Also, while these are gluten free, they definitely _aren’t_ healthy by any measure,
so treat them as treats only!
