Butter Bean Blondies

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8x8 baking dish or a pie plate.

Step 2

In a food processor, puree butter beans until they form a smooth paste.

Step 3

Add peanut butter, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla, salt, baking powder, and baking soda to the bean mixture in the processor. Turn on processor for about 5-10 seconds until everything is well combined. Fold in 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips.

Step 4

Place batter in baking dish and top with remaining chocolate chips.

Step 5

Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until a knife/toothpick comes out clean. {If you prefer more gooey blondies, go on the lower end; for firmer blondies go on the higher end.}
