Snickerdoodle Chickpea Blondie Bars

Yes, I may be a major chocoholic, but I am crazy for cinnamon too!

I love to go to the spice store and pick out specialty cinnamons — the stronger the better! I love putting cinnamon in my oatmeal and I love love love cinnamon flavored snickerdoodle cookies!

These Snickerdoodle Chickpea Blondies are so rich and chewy and loaded with cinnamon. Just the way I like ’em!

Oh and kids love them too! Chickpea blondies make an awesome healthy dessert swap — they are so tasty that no one will know they’re healthy (unless you tell them!)

Why Chickpeas?

If you are looking to give your next dessert a little boost of protein, chickpeas are the way to go! Chickpeas are a wonderful source of protein and fiber — a magical combination that helps slow digestion and keep you feeling full longer.

Other health benefits of chickpeas include:

  • Good source of vitamins and minerals
  • High folate (so they’re great for expecting mamas!)
  • Low caloric density, which is why they make the perfect healthy baking ingredient
  • Help maintain blood sugar levels

This sneaky snickerdoodle chickpea cookie bar recipe is great for picky eaters who are looking for a sweet treat! These cookie bars have the delicious cinnamon taste of a snickerdoodle but in a cookie bar form!

    What is the purpose of using foil to line the baking pan? Is it necessary?
