Tips

  • Use very ripe bananas and runny peanut butter for the best results.
  • Let the blondies cool completely before slicing to achieve a soft, fudgy texture.
  • Store banana chickpea blondies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • For longer storage, slice and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge or at room temperature before serving.
  • These blondies are a great way to support early allergen exposure with peanut butter in a soft, low-risk texture.
  • To make mini muffins, bake in a mini muffin pan at 350°F for 12-15 minutes.
  • Removing chickpea skins is optional for a smoother texture, but still turns out great if left on and blended well.
  • These are great for babies 6+ months once peanut butter is introduced.
