Using White Beans To Make Raspberry Blondies

White beans might not be the first ingredient that comes to mind when you think of dessert, but they can actually be a great addition to your baking recipes!

White beans are a great source of protein, fiber, and other important nutrients like iron and folate. Adding them to this dessert recipe boosts thei nutritional content, making these sweet treats a bit more balanced.

These lovely legumes also provide a healthier alternative to traditional baking ingredients like flour, making them totally gluten-free!

White beans also give added moisture to these White Bean Raspberry Blondies. The creamy texture of mashed or blended white beans gives a soft, tender crumb to these cute little blondie bites.

How to Make This Recipe

1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
2. Combine all the ingredients, except the vegan chocolate chips, in a blender until the batter is mostly smooth.

3. Stir in vegan chocolate chips.

4. Pour the batter into a non-stick muffin pan and bake for 20-25 minutes. (Be careful not to undercook the blondies as the centre will remain gooey).
5. Allow the blondies to cool and firm up.

6. Once cooled, add 1/4 cup baking chips plus 1 tsp coconut oil to a bowl and microwave for 20 seconds, stir, then microwave for 10 more seconds. Do not overcook, as chocolate burns easily. Using a spoon, drizzle chocolate over each blondie.

7. Top with fresh raspberries and garnish with fresh mint.

Commonly Asked Questions

Can I use a different bean in this recipe besides white beans?

I highly recommend using cooked (canned, or dried cooked) white beans in this recipe. However in a pinch you could also substitute the white beans for cooked chickpeas.

How do I store this White Bean Raspberry Blondies?

Store leftover in the refrigerator in an air-tight container for 2-3 days. For the freshest results, I suggest storing these blondies in the freezer, then simply take blondies out to thaw before consuming.

Absolutely, use any type of fruit you like. A great option that pairs well with chocolate is cherries.
