{Recipe}Salted Chocolate Chip Chickpea Blondie Cake-Vegan & Gluten Free

I made this "cake"  for my oldest's birthday and it was the perfect little treat that was actually pretty healthy!  You can find the original recipe here.

Ingredients:

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, rinsed and drained

1/2 cup natural peanut butter (or use any kind of nut butter)

1/3 cup maple syrup

2 tsp vanilla

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp baking powder

1/3 cup vegan chocolate chips plus more for the top

sea salt for the top

To make:

• Spray 9 inch round pan with cooking spray (you can also use an 8 x 8 square pan)
• In a food processor (I used my Vitamix) combine all ingredients except chocolate chips and sea salt. Process until smooth.  Try not to eat all of the batter right now.
• Fold in 1/3 cup chocolate chips
• Spread batter into pan and smooth out with spatula. Sprinkle 2 TBS (or more) chocolate chips over the top.
  
• Bake for 20-25 until a toothpick comes out clean. Edges will be turning a light brown. Let cool on wire rack for 20 minutes  and sprinkle with sea salt (optional)
  before serving.
