Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease an 8-inch square glass baking dish with nonstick spray.
- In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, peanut butter, sugar, egg yolks, cream cheese, vanilla, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, and allspice. Purée until smooth and well-combined, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl at least once, 1–2 minutes.
- Use a rubber spatula to scrape the mixture into a medium bowl. Add the chocolate, walnuts, and raisins and stir to combine.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish and spread as evenly as possible, all the way to the corners of the dish.
- Bake the blondies for 22–24 minutes, until lightly browned around the edges and a toothpick or cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool for 30–45 minutes before slicing, to allow the blondies to set.
- Slice into 9 or 12 pieces, then serve.
- Enjoy!
