White bean (haricot blanc) blondies

Blondies are basically brownies minus the chocolate! They are rich, sweet dessert bars which usually have slightly caramel undertones. Came across this healthier version on 'chocolate covered Katie's' blog, using beans makes these a protein packed treat! Crisp on the outside and gooey on the inside, yum!

WHITE BEAN BLONDIES

• 250 g/ 1 can, cooked white beans (haricot blanc), drained
• 65 g/ 2 heaped tbsp peanut butter (sugar free & salt free)
• 20 g oats
• 40 g honey
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 0.5 tsp baking powder
• 0.5 tsp baking soda
• Pinch of salt
• Couple of tbsp of dark chocolate chips (optional, definitely worth it!)

1. Using a hand blender, blend everything together (except the choc chips), until you obtain a smooth and creamy batter.
2. Fold in the chocolate chips, pour the batter into a well greased glass dish, bake at 180 degrees Celsius for around 30 minutes. These will harden slightly as they cool.
