Introducing the easiest Peanut Butter Strawberry Blondies you’ll ever make!

They’re totally gluten free, vegan and refined sugar free too. 

If you’ve never tried blondies before and see chickpeas as the main ingredient and think… nah that isn’t for me then trust me and give them a go, you’ll be pleasantly surprised. 

You’re going to absolutely love these Peanut Butter Strawberry Blondies as they’re:

  • Very Easy
  • Gooey
  • Delicious
  • Adaptable
  • Minimal mess 
  • Gluten free, Vegan & Refined Sugar Free

Using these 7 simple ingredients

Ingredients

Best of all the peanut butter blondie mix is so incredibly easy to make! Simply add all the ingredients into a food processor and blend until smooth. 

If you have kids then make sure to get them involved in baking these blondies. 

It’s a great way in tricking them to eat more legumes without even knowing it.

Processor

Baked with fresh strawberries inside and on top makes this amazing gluten free and vegan blondie perfect for sharing with family and friends. 

If you didn’t realise by now I’m the BIGGEST peanut butter fan, so when I thought about adding it to blondies I just had to give it a go immediately. And guess what…. It totally works!

Combining chickpeas and peanut butter adds a decent amount of plant-based protein to these blondies.

But trust me you wouldn’t even notice the chickpeas in this if you didn’t know.

Try giving these to a friend or family member and ask them to guess the key ingredient, unlikely they will think it’s chickpeas.

  • 2 400g cans of chickpeas drained and rinsed
  • 6 Tbsp peanut butter (crunchy or smooth)
  • 6 Tbsp maple syrup
  • 50 g buckwheat flour (⅓ rd cup)

  • Pour in the rest of the mix and smooth over the top and finally top with extra strawberries

  • Allow to cool for 20-30 minutes and then slice into squares

Notes

Swap the strawberries with either fruit, nuts or chocolate
