Garbanzo bean blondies sweetened with dates. No oil, no sugar, no flour; just whole, plant-based ingredients. Great for get-togethers, kids & picky eaters.
Place dates and warm water in food processor and let soak for 10 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Blend dates and water in food processor until smooth.
Add all remaining ingredients, except chopped almonds, to food processor and blend until smooth, stopping to scrape down sides as needed. Stir in chopped almonds, if using.
Pour dough into 8x8 inch square baking pan lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle pinch of cinnamon over top and use a knife to lightly swirl.
Bake for 30 minutes. Let cool for 20 minutes, to allow firming, before serving.
Notes
Once cooled, store refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 1 week.I used this Food Processor to combine ingredients.
