What are “Blondies”?

Unlike the regular brownie, blondies contain no chocolate or cacao.

While it resembles a brownie, the chocolate and the cacao are substituted with other ingredients. 

However, they can contain chocolate chips, which, I think, (almost) always makes any dessert better. 😀

The blondies we are going to make are dense, juicy, and super delicious!

Does it taste like beans?

Even though these Blueberry Blondies are made with white beans – don’t worry. There is zero “bean” taste, and usually, when others try the blondies, they cannot believe that they are made with beans. 🙂

Ingredients for the White Bean Blueberry Blondies:

  • White beans – Use butter beans/cannellini beans. I’m pretty sure the recipe will work perfectly fine with chickpeas (garbanzo beans), too. You can use canned or dried.
  • Banana – If you worry that the blondies will taste like bananas, don’t! We will use it mainly for its texture and to bind the blondies better. 
  • Date syrup – A fantastic natural sweetener. You can find date syrup in glass jars on Amazon. You can also substitute it for maple syrup. 
  • Protein powder – I use Form Nutrition for most of my protein sweets. It contains all 9 essential amino acids, 20g of plant protein, and 7g of fiber per serving. For this recipe, you can use their Vanilla & Chocolate Salted Caramel flavor. You can order it from here if you are based in the US, or from here if you live in the UK or Europe.
  • Coconut oil – We will need a bit of coconut oil to make the blondies juicier.
  • Oat flour – Rich in fiber, satiating, and easy to make it yourself (just grind oats!).
  • Chocolate & Blueberries – Because both of these make everything better & tastier.
