Chickpea Blondies With Avocado Chocolate Frosting

Holy cow these are so good. I’m actually eating one right now as I try to find the words to describe how truly amazing these treats are. They’re packed with protein, fiber, antioxidants, vitamins and flavor! Not only that, but they’re gluten free, totally plant based and refined sugar free too. I’ve also always gotten a lot of requests from parents who struggle to feed their kids healthy food. This recipe is a kid friendly recipe that’s so healthy but tastes like a treat!

All you need is a food processor and a baking dish for this recipe! Everything gets thrown into the processor and that’s it. No mixing, separating wet from dry or anything like that. Simple and easy high protein dessert.
