Why These Blondies Are a Win for Your Hormones
This recipe is simple and delicious. I make a batch, freeze them, and always have a stash on hand for those moments when I need something sweet but still want to feel good after eating it.
They’re the kind of dessert that’s “healthy-ish, satisfying, and actually supports your hormones.
Why I Love These Blondies (And You Might Too)
They come together in one bowl (well, technically a food processor).
They’re naturally gluten-free, dairy-free, and sweetened with maple syrup.
They taste like dessert, but sneak in protein, fibre, and healthy fats.
And the texture? Chewy, golden, a little toasty from the coconut, yes, please.
The Recipe: Coconut Chickpea Blondies
Yields: 16 blondies | Total time: 45 minutes
Ingredients:
¾ tsp coconut oil
2 cups cooked chickpeas
½ cup almond butter (or sunflower seed butter if nut-free)
¼ cup maple syrup (or honey if preferred)
½ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp sea salt
¼ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp baking soda
⅓ cup unsweetened shredded coconut (plus extra for topping)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350ºF (177ºC). Brush an 8x8" baking dish with coconut oil.
Add all ingredients to a food processor and blend until smooth.
Spread batter evenly in the pan (tip: coat your spatula in coconut oil to help with stickiness).
Sprinkle extra coconut on top and press in lightly.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean and edges are slightly golden.
Cool for 20 minutes, then slice into squares and enjoy!
Tips, Swaps & Storage
Make it nut-free: Use sunflower seed butter instead of almond butter
No maple syrup? Honey works too
Storage: Keep in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for longer. They defrost well and are perfect as a grab-and-go snack
