White Bean Valentine Blondies

Can NOT believe this crazy weather, I'm hoping everyone stays safe this week! I tried this recipe from the latest Costco Connections magazine with some substitutions with what I had on hand and they turned out amazing a couple of weeks ago. I decided to whip them up again for the holiday of love this week! These are delicious and are a great way to get some additional nutrients in a dessert! I cut mine into squares and store in the refrigerator, I personally like chilled desserts, but they are counter safe in an air tight container too. These would be a great break room snack for all to enjoy! 

Ingredients:

1- 15 oz can cannellini bean/white beans- rinsed & drained 

1/2 c old fashioned oats

1/3 c brown sugar

1/2 c creamy peanut butter 

1/4 c almond flour (can sub all purpose)

2 Tbsp our maple syrup 

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 c raw almonds 

1/4 c dried mulberries- roughly chopped

1/2 c mini chocolate chips 

How to: 

Preheat oven 350 degrees, place all ingredients except mulberries & chocolate chips into food processor & process until smooth (30 seconds, scrape down- continue until smooth & completely combined. 

Fold in mulberries & chocolate chips. 

Spray a 8x8 baking dish and spread evenly. 

Bake 20-25 mins or until you can remove a toothpick clean. 

Cool & cut into squares. 

Hope you all give this a go, if you have questions or aren't sure if you can substitute something, shoot me a message and I can walk you through! Hope you all have a great rest of your week and a Happy Valentine's Day!! <3
