Chickpea Blondies

Ingredients:

• 1 can chickpeas (15 oz)
• 2 eggs (or 3 egg whites)
• 1/3 cup oat flour (ground up whole oats)
• 1/2 cup flax meal
• 2 T canola oil
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 tsp b. powder
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• pinch of salt
• 1/4 cup agave nectar
• 2 T almond butter
• 1/2 a banana

Drain and rinse chickpeas.  Blend with eggs (or egg whites) in food processor.  Mix in all other ingredients, stir well to combine.  Grease an 8 x 8 pan and bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees or until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.

Cool for 10 minutes, cut and serve!

These are more muffin/bread like than a dessert item.  You could make them sweeter with more agave or some brown sugar but I like the versatility of being able to eat them with nut butter and yogurt or with some soup.
