These chickpea blondies are made with white choc chips and are amazing. You're not gonna believe they've got chickpeas in them, seriously. I use coconut sugar instead of the 'old' refined sugars I used to use, and a handful of white choc chips for some added sweetness and crunch. Pop one of these blondie bars in the kids lunch boxes and give them a protein hit to keep them going until they get home!
