White Bean Blondies
Naturally sweetened recipe for delicious white bean blondies – my kids love it! Baking with beans instead of flour adds protein to this healthy dessert. Plus, they can be made gluten-free.

Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups cooked white beans (I used great northern)
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 tsp vanilla (make your own here)
- 1/2 cup + 2 Tbsp rolled oats
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 cup vanilla chips (optional, can use whatever chips you’d like)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Line an 8×8 glass pan with parchment paper.
- Combine all the ingredients in a blender and blend until the batter is mostly smooth. You likely will have some oats that are not entirely ground up, but the rest of the batter should be smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 15-20 minutes, until the tops are medium golden brown. Careful not to undercook the brownies as the center will remain gooey.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting.
Notes
You can add vanilla or chocolate chips (I think vanilla chips are AMAZING in this recipe), but avoid butterscotch chips. They failed miserably in this recipe, which surprised me. The butterscotch chips had a processed sugar alcohol taste to them, and not only ruined the brownie but melted and left behind burnt sugar holes in their place.
If you cannot find vanilla chips, go ahead and make them white chocolate blondies with white chocolate chips.
