Notes
- If you are cooking chickpeas from dried beans, make sure to cook them well so they are soft.
- These are made in a square pan then cut into 16 pieces to get the servings.
- Make sure to let the blondies cool before cutting so that they set more and have a better texture!
- Do Not Over Bake: Since every oven varies, I recommend checking in on these blondies at the 25 minute mark to test with a toothpick.
