Peanut Butter And Jam Nutella Banana Blondies

I know I’m not the only one that stands over the kitchen sink smearing peanut butter on one side of a banana, and then smear Nutella on the other side to justify it as a healthy snack because it’s a banana? I feel like I’m at confession because the peanut butter and Nutella somehow don’t count.

how to make banana blondies

Incredibly easy to make, this spin on chickpea blondies is an extremely forgiving and fool-proof recipe that takes minutes to make with easy to find minimal ingredients and a food processor. Just throw your ingredients into your processor, fold through some chocolate chips and pour the batter into a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Top with more chocolate and bake in the oven. DONE! Peanut butter and jam Nutella banana blondies ready in less than half an hour.

substitutions

Canned chickpeas are used in this recipe, but you can use precooked/boiled chickpeas (also known as garbanzo beans). I love using peanut butter in this recipe but you can substitute it with a nut butter of your choosing. Natural cashew butter, almond butter or hazelnut butter will work. Honey adds sweetness and make these chickpea blondies super fudgy. Alternatively, you can use the same quantity of pure maple syrup or any other sweetened syrup. Rolled oats add texture and structure. Use almond flour or plain/all-purpose flour.

When these beautiful fudgy blondies come out of the oven and warm banana aromas fill your kitchen, be prepared to be surrounded by people wanting to grab a slice or five. Warm, sweet, sticky and fudgy slices.
