I made gluten free - and pretty healthy! - blondies for William's lunch treat this week. The main ingredient is garbanzo beans. Yes....garbanzo beans. But they don't taste like beans, I promise! They taste like gooey, delicious blondies! See?
I followed the recipe exactly from Chocolate Covered Katie. Here's how to make them (SO EASY!)
- 1 1/2 cups chickpeas or white beans (1 can, drained and rinsed)
- 3/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/8 tsp baking soda
- level 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup brown sugar or coconut sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup ground flax
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Blend all ingredients (except chips) until very smooth in a food processor (not a blender). Mix in chips, and scoop into a greased 8×8 pan. Optional: for “prettiness” you can stick some chocolate chips on top of the batter as well. Bake for around 30 minutes. They’ll look a little undercooked when you take them out, but they firm up as they cool, and you don’t want them to get hard.
And here's the meal plan for this week. Yesterday was SUPPOSED to be veggie burgers on the grill with oven fries and broccoli. But Steve burned the hell out of the burgers and they were blackened little pucks of coal. So we improvised.
Sunday: Scrambled egg sandwiches in lieu of veggie burgers
Monday: Attempt 2 on the veggie burgers
Tuesday: The Famous Taco Salad
Wednesday: Salmon of some sort
Thursday: out
Friday: Tortilla pizzas that we didn't have last week due to birthday celebrations for William
Saturday: Chicken Tikka Masala (recipe to follow)
