ingredients
- 1 can not drained chickpeas
- 6 chopped pitted dates
- 3 tablepoons nut milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups oat flour
- 1/4 cups coconut sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 2 teapsoons allspice
- 1/2 teaspoon cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teapsoons cardamom
- 1/2 cup cashews
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 3 tablepoons maple syrup
- 2 tablepoons nut milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Method
Step 1
Pre-heat the oven to 350F
Step 2
Blend the chickpeas, milk and vanilla until smooth. Scrape down the sides and add in the dates, blending for about 10 seconds (you'll still have date chunks, that's okay!)
Step 3
In a bowl, thoroughly combine all the dry ingredients. Then, mix the wet ingredients into the dry just until combined.
Step 4
Add to a lined or greased 9x9 baking tin and spread the batter out so it reaches all corners evenly. Sprinkle a little extra cinnamon cinnamon over the top! Bake for 22-25 minutes.
Step 5
While baking, blend all of the frosting together until mostly smooth. There should be a bit of texture left from the coconut and cashews! Once the blondies are completely cool, spread a layer of the frosting over top, slice and enjoy!
