This blondie recipe doesn’t use chickpeas but peanut butter to get that delicious fudgy texture. These blondies are thick, gooey and oh so moreish, and are ready to eat in just 35 minutes.
I know a lot of vegan blondies use chickpeas in the recipe but I always think of chickpeas as being more of a savoury ingredient, so this blondie recipe doesn’t use them.

This recipe uses a “flax egg”, an egg substitute made from flax seed and oat milk, but if you’re not vegan you can use 2 eggs as a substitute.
You can use light brown sugar rather than dark brown sugar – this will give a slightly less intense taste.
How to Store Blondies
The best way to store blondies is in an air tight container at room temperature. The blondies will stay fresh for about 1 week but if your house is anything like mine, they won’t last that long because they are delicious!

Traditionally brownies are made with milk or dark chocolate whereas blondies are made with white chocolate. Blondies have more of a vanilla taste than the chocolate of brownies.
