Chickpea Date Blondies

Gorgeous, healthy Blondies filled with honey, cinnamon, dates and tahini. These lil gems are perfect with some Turkish coffee or sweet tea. They smell and taste of the Middle East. The chickpeas add protein, warm colour and a faint nuttiness.



Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 20-25 minutes
Makes: 10 Squares



Ingredients
240g chickpeas (drained weight)
1 tablespoon of hulled tahini
1 tablespoon of honey
1/2 cup dried dates* (soaked overnight)
