Ingredients
Chocolate Chip Blondie Layer
  • 1 can (230g) garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed*
  • ½ cup (40g) oats (quick or old fashioned)
  • 1 scoop (34g) vanilla whey protein powder
  • ½ cup (113g) natural applesauce
  • ¼ cup (48g) stevia brown sugar blend**
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil (or oil of choice)
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp. baking powder
  • 3 tbsp. (45g) dark chocolate chips
Chocolate Cheesecake Layer
  • 6 tbsp. (170g) reduced fat cream cheese
  • ⅔ cup (150g) vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 1 whole egg
  • 1½ (51g) scoops chocolate whey protein powder
  • 2 tbsp. (10g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ¼ cup granulated stevia or erythritol
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 325F. Add all blondie ingredients except for chocolate chips to food processor. Blend until a smooth batter forms. Make sure the beans and oats are fully blended so that there are no chunks. Add chocolate chips and pulse a few times to incorporate.
  2. Line an 8x8 baking dish with foil. Spray with cooking spray. Pour blondie batter into baking dish and spread evenly.
  3. Clean out food processor. Add all cheesecake ingredients to food processor. Blend until smooth. Scrape down sides if needed.
  4. Spread cheesecake batter over top of blondie batter. Spread evenly over top. Cover with foil and bake for about 35-40 minutes. Cheesecake may seem a little undercooked. Once cooled, put in fridge for 3-4 hours to let cheesecake set.
  5. Slice into 16 blondie bars and enjoy!
Notes
* Weight of the beans is after they have been drained and rinsed. Make sure to rinse well.
** If you don't have stevia brown sugar blend, just use ½ cup regular brown sugar.
