3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Blondies [vegan + grain-free]

These easy 3-ingredient peanut butter blondies are naturally sweetened, flourless, and packed with plant-based protein. Made with chickpeas and peanut flour for a healthy dessert everyone will love!

The Easiest Blondies You’ll Ever Make

If you’ve ever looked in your pantry and thought, “I have absolutely nothing to make dessert with,” allow me to introduce you to these magical little blondies.

Three ingredients. One food processor. And somehow the result is soft, chewy, peanut buttery perfection.

No butter, oil, or refined sugar. No flour. Just wholesome ingredients that transform into a surprisingly delicious treat that tastes way more indulgent than it has any business being.

Why You’ll Love These Peanut Butter Blondies

• Only 3 simple ingredients
• Naturally gluten-free and dairy-free
• Packed with fiber and plant-based protein
• No refined sugar
• Perfect for meal prep and snacking
• Kid-approved and secretly made with chickpeas

Trust me, nobody will guess there’s a can of beans hiding in these blondies.

Ingredients You’ll Need

• 1 can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
• 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1½ cups Peanut Butter Co pure peanut powder (code healthyhelper saves!)
• Optional: 2 tablespoons date syrup, for extra sweetness (code healthyhelper saves!)

Why Chickpeas Work So Well In Blondies

Chickpeas are the ultimate healthy baking secret weapon. They create a soft, fudgy texture while adding fiber and protein to every bite. Combined with naturally sweet applesauce and nutty peanut flour, they become the base of a blondie that’s rich, satisfying, and surprisingly decadent.

It’s basically kitchen wizardry.

How To Make 3-Ingredient Peanut Butter Blondies

• Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
• Add the applesauce and chickpeas to a food processor and blend until completely smooth.
• Add the peanut flour and blend again until a thick, smooth batter forms.
• If you’d like a sweeter blondie, blend in the date syrup.
• Spray an 8×8 baking dish with cooking spray.
• Transfer the batter to the dish and spread evenly.
• Bake for 35 minutes.
• Let the blondies cool completely before slicing and serving.

Tips For The Best Blondies

• Blend the chickpeas completely smooth to avoid any bean texture.
• Allow the blondies to cool fully before cutting since they firm up as they cool.
• For extra indulgence, sprinkle a few chocolate chips on top before baking.
• Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Serving Ideas

These blondies are delicious straight from the fridge, slightly warmed with a drizzle of peanut butter, or crumbled over yogurt for a protein-packed dessert situation.

They’re also perfect for meal prep because they taste even better the next day.

The Bottom Line

Healthy desserts don’t need a mile-long ingredient list or complicated instructions. These 3-ingredient peanut butter blondies prove that simple ingredients can create something seriously crave-worthy.

So grab that lonely can of chickpeas hanging out in your pantry and get baking. Your snack game is about to get a whole lot better.

35. […] 3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Blondies by Healthy Helper Blog. OK, you will be so shocked to find out what those 3 ingredients are! I totally want to try these, and soon! […]

36. These look deeeeeee-lish!! I did think from the title, that they would be made with peanut butter (which I have) instead of peanut flour (which I don’t have). Wonder how they would taste with peanut butter instead of flour?

    • I am not sure this recipe would work if you used actual peanut butter!

37. I’ve made chickpea brownie and they are not bad. May have to give these a try.

    • Thanks Genie! Let me know if you try them!

38. Brilliant! What kind of peanut powder do you use? I realize I may sound really dumb here but I’ve never used peanut flour. Like PBFit kind or something totally different?

    • You could totally use PB fit! That would work fine! I used jif peanut butter powder for these!
