These healthy vegan chickpea blondies<\/strong> with cherries are wonderfully moist, naturally sweetened with dates and banana, and built on a base of chickpeas and oats. Completely flourless, with no refined sugar \u2013 and still so good that nobody would ever guess how many wholesome ingredients are hiding inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Summer is here! After a few days that felt a lot more like autumn around here, the sun finally showed up again today. So I grabbed my dog, hiked up a little hill with her, and then stretched out in the sunshine with a book. Bliss! And along with the good weather, summer brings something else I look forward to all year: summer fruit, like cherries!<\/p>\n\n\n\n I love cherries<\/strong>. Preferably straight off the stem \u2013 but in ice cream or baked into something sweet they are every bit as good. I had also been meaning to try blondies made with chickpeas for the longest time, and as it turns out, cherries belong in these blondies as if they had been made for each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Instead of sugar or syrup, these healthy blondies are sweetened entirely with fruit<\/strong>: banana and dates. The result is a wonderfully moist, fudgy texture<\/strong> and a natural sweetness.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n[feast_advanced_jump_to]\n\n\n You only need a handful of ingredients for these wholesome vegan blondies without flour \u2013 and chances are you have most of them at home already.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (You will find the exact quantities in the recipe card further down.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n These banana and cherry blondies come together in just a few steps. The best part: your blender and your oven do most of the work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let the blondies cool down completely,<\/strong> and ideally give them another 1\u20132 hours in the fridge. That is when they firm up properly and slice into clean, neat squares.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n With these tips you can adapt the blondies to whatever you are craving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kept in an airtight container in the fridge, the blondies stay fresh for 4\u20135 days<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n They freeze well<\/strong> too \u2013 wrap them individually and freeze for up to 4 months. Let them thaw at room temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I would be lying if I said no. You can definitely tell that these are not classic blondies made with flour and sugar. But in this combination the beany flavor really does fade into the background.<\/p> <\/div> You can replace it with unsweetened apple sauce.<\/p> <\/div> Yes – use them straight from the freezer, do not thaw them first. Otherwise they release too much liquid and the batter gets too wet.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n Snacking that is both healthy and delicious? Absolutely possible!
