Peanut Butter Protein Blondies
I’ve made my Black Bean Brownies so many times, and it finally occurred to me- why not try white beans and make blondies? Apparently, I wasn’t the only one who thought of this idea. There were several recipes already floating around on different blogs and websites, but they all seemed a little complicated. So, I decided to ignore what’s been done already and create my own. My goal was to create an easy recipe with just a few simple ingredients. I’m really excited about how delicious these came out. Even better was that all my family members and my co-workers agree (thank you everyone)!

- 1 14.5 oz can cannellini beans drained and rinsed
- 1 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions
- I used the convection bake option on my oven and preheated it to 325. If you don’t have convection just preheat your oven to 350.
- Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth (yes, it’s that easy!). If needed, add a little bit of milk or water if the batter is too thick.
- Use all of your willpower to not eat the batter.
- Spray a nonstick 8″ inch square pan with cooking spray. Pour batter into pan. Sprinkle with cacao or chocolate chips if desired.
- Bake about 20 minutes, or until knife comes out clean.
- Slice into 16 squares and enjoy!
