BUTTERSCOTCH BLONDIES

/

Butterscotch Blondies made with Nutpods creamer and a combination of sugar-free butterscotch and salted caramel baking chips.

These flourless Butterscotch Blondies are moist and fudgy with the perfect amount of sweetness. Bonus is, they’re free of added sugar, packed with healthy fats and protein, and suitable for vegan and gluten-free diets.

Ingredients for 8 squares:

  • 15-oz can chickpeas, drained, rinsed, and peeled (1 1/2 cups drained) (see note below*)

  • 1/2 cup Fatso Classic peanut butter (or substitute cashew butter or a combination)

  • 1/2 cup Lakanto Golden sugar-free monk fruit sweetener (or coconut sugar)

  • 1/4 cup Nuzest Clean Lean Smooth Vanilla protein powder

  • 3 Tbsp unsweetened almond milk or Nutpods Caramel sugar-free dairy-free creamer

  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract

  • 1/4 tsp baking powder

  • 1/4 tsp baking soda

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 1/2 cup sugar-free butterscotch chips (or a combination of butterscotch and salted caramel baking chips)

*Note: I like to peel the chickpeas to get most of the skins off. It’s not essential but improves the texture of the blondies.

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350F.

  2. Put the chickpeas, peanut butter, sweetener, protein powder, milk or creamer, vanilla, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a food processor or blender container.  

  3. Blend well, scraping the sides and bottom with a rubber spatula as needed, until a uniform cookie dough-like consistency is achieved.

  4. Fold in butterscotch chips and scrape the batter into a greased 9x5” baking pan. Smooth the top and sprinkle with additional chips as desired.

  5. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until they look almost done and are starting to brown around the edges. You want to slightly under-bake these blondies so they stay moist and fudgy.

  6. Remove blondies from the oven and cool completely before cutting and serving.

Butterscotch Blondies can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for a week or the freezer for up to 2 months.
