Pumpkin Chickpea Blondies
Ooh I love fall, and ooh I love these blondies!
Truthfully I made these for dessert, but frankly you can eat them ANYTIME you like!
These are nut free, grain free, dairy free (aka vegan!) and I used some protein powder to add some richness and extra protein (always a good thing!). I used this Orgain plant based protein, but you can also use this Garden of Life protein powder too!
Feel free to add any extra goodies in there that you like- these blondies are SO GOOD!
Enjoy these yummy treats! If you make them we’d love to see what you make, and how they turned out- please send us a note with a pic!
