NO BAKE HEALTHY CHOCOLATE CHIP BLONDIES

You know when your body wants something sweet, but you just want none of the guilt? I have those moments all the time, and these Healthy Chocolate Chip Blondies is one of the recipes that comes to the rescue!

INGREDIENTS

• 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons coconut flour, sifted
• 1/2 cup mashed banana
• 1/4 cup peanut butter
• 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Line an 8×4 loaf pan with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, mash the banana, add peanut butter, honey, and vanilla. Once the mixture is cohesive and creamy, add in the coconut flour and combine well. The final step is to add in chocolate chips and combine.
3. Spread mixture into a lined pan with your hands, pressing down and spreading evenly, to about 1/2 thick. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours until firm.
4. Picking up the parchment paper, remove from pan and cut into individual squares.
5. You can wrap them individually or in an airtight container and refrigerate them for a week. They can also be wrapped individually and frozen for up to a month.

NOTES

Make sure to measure the mashed banana since coconut flour is not a very forgiving ingredient. You can add up to 1/4 cup vanilla protein powder for an extra protein boost (not included in nutrition facts).
