You Pinspire Me
Because of various friends and family members being gluten-free, I’m always on the lookout for decent recipes that don’t use flour. I saw the post for this one, and it looked absolutely amazing, even though the main ingredient was just chickpeas! It reminds me of the black bean Brownies that I made a few months ago.
These squares, though, were so simple to make, and absolutely delicious! Combine a can of chickpeas, some peanut butter, and few other ingredients in a food processor
Add some chocolate chips, sprinkle with sea salt and bake! I found that it needed to bake for at least the maximum amount of time (25 minutes) or even longer – the centre of mine was still quite soft.
But it tasted great, and we all loved it! Best of all, it was healthy! It didn’t matter if I ate one or two (or three) pieces at a time!
Head over to Ambitious Kitchen for the original recipe. She called them “Blondies” but our kids thought they tasted more like cookies, so we call them Cookie Squares.

I live in Hamilton, Ontario, and love my city. I'm a Netflixer, choral music geek, bookworm, inventor of recipes (I take Artistic Licence on EVERYTHING that I make), wife of one, mother of two, and owner of a neurotic Schnauzer. I respect people who respect others. I love good food that's well done, but my favourite lunch is KD & hotdogs. With ketchup. I'm addicted to Clearance Shopping. I will ALWAYS get the product that I want at the price that I want, eventually.
