So by now, you’ve maybe figured out that I love to make food that tastes just as good, if not better than, the original. But with healthy ingredients to help keep me feeling my best. I have totally succeeded in my mission with this sugarless, grain-free, gluten-free, flourless, coconut/macadamia/chocolate chip blondie. Yes, it is true! It is possible by flourless sugarless blondie (which I will discuss today).
Moist, sweet, and with a cookie-like crumb, this high-protein vegan blondie is as delicious as you can get. But with nothing but good-for-you ingredients (and maybe a surprise or two in there!).
We are using aquafaba in this recipe, and if you haven’t heard of it before it’s simply the liquid that’s leftover in your can of chickpeas. It is a newly discovered vegan egg substitute (apparently you can make a mean meringue with it!) that I’ve been meaning to try since I first heard of it. And since we are using canned chickpeas in this recipe I thought ‘what the hell, let’s do this!’ Now you can impress your friends when you tell them all about how you bake with aquafaba.
How To Make Flourless Sugarless Blondie?
These are about as easy as they get. Preheat your oven to 350F. Briefly pulse the macadamia nuts in your food processor and set them aside. Then strain your can of chickpeas – but don’t throw out the liquid!
Add all of your ingredients except the chocolate chips and nuts to your food processor and process until completely smooth. Add 1/2 c of chocolate chips and your chopped nuts into the processor. Also, a process for a couple of seconds, just enough to combine for flourless sugarless blondie.
Add mixture to a parchment-lined 8×8 cooking dish, top with remaining chocolate chips, and bake for 30 minutes, or until the edges have started to brown. Leave in a baking dish to cool, and when cool enough to handle then put in the fridge to harden (expect it to take a couple of hours). Lift gently from the baking dish and cut into squares while still cold. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Line 8 x 8 cooking dish with parchment paper.

- When firm, gently lift out of the dish using parchment paper, and slice while still cold.
- Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
