Orange Chamomile Blondies Recipes

CHICKPEA BLONDIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two opposing sides.
• Pat the chickpeas dry between a clean kitchen towel, then transfer to a food processor. Add the almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, baking powder, baking soda, salt and reserved aquafaba (liquid from the canned chickpeas). Process until the mixture is very smooth, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula as needed, about 2 minutes. Add the almond flour and pulse to combine. Carefully remove the food processor blade, then stir in the 1/2 cup chocolate chips with a rubber spatula until evenly incorporated.
• Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan and smooth into an even layer. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons chocolate chips. Bake until the edges are golden brown, the top is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few small crumbs, about 30 minutes. Let cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes, then use the parchment overhang to transfer to the wire rack. Let cool completely, then slice into 16 squares. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

BLONDIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Line the pan with parchment, leaving an overhang, then butter the parchment.
• Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt together in a medium bowl and set aside. In another bowl, whisk the melted butter and brown sugar together until combined. Add the vanilla and eggs and stir to combine. Fold the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, being careful not to overmix. Fold in the walnuts and 1 cup of the chocolate chips. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Scatter the remaining 2 tablespoons chocolate chips over the batter.
• Bake until the top is a light golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes, being careful not to overbake. Let cool on a wire rack. Remove the blondies from the pan and transfer to a cutting board. Cut into rectangles, sprinkle with flaky salt and serve.
