Ingredients

Blondies:

Topping:

  • ½ cup Roasted Peanuts

  • Last, add the baking powder.
  • Scoop the mixture into the prepared pan and spread it out (I used an offset spatula to spread it out).
  • Sprinkle on the peanuts and lightly press them into the blondie batter.

Did you know typical blondies are made with sticks of butter, overly processed white flour, lots of eggs, and a little too much sugar?

Not these bad boys!

These healthified blondies are made with a base of garbanzo beans (don’t be scared, you can’t taste ’em!), applesauce to replace the butter, and all natural erythritol plus some organic stevia extract to replace the sugar.

For the brownie topping, we’ve got a mix of peanut butter and coconut oil, which is mixed with cocoa powder to make it “brownie-like.”  Then, some roasted peanuts get stirred in for some crunch!

  2. I definitely eat more than 5 oz. of nuts in a week…especially because my work office supplies some of the best! They have these Smokehouse flavored Blue Diamond almonds and they are AH-mazing. And I have cashews as my little snack on the way home from work most days. 

    • Lol, I think I eat more than 5 ounces too, Kaylin! Smokehouse flavored almonds sound really good, yum! 🙂

      Mmm, those look so good! I would have never thought that those brownie ingredients would bake into the brownie layer! 🙂
