"Vegan blondies made with white beans and done funfetti style?! This might be the most clever and FUN way to use beans. Move over black bean brownies, there’s a new dessert in town! Not only are these vegan blondies totally adorable and delicious, they are also protein dense due to the addition of white beans. As a person who isn’t crazy about desserts (I know, I know), I find myself more attracted to less sweet treats like banana bread, muffins and energy balls. The extra great thing about funfetti vegan blondies is that on their own they’re not overly sweet."

Notes* If you are not avoiding wheat, regular flour works in this recipe. ** I have not yet made this recipe with traditional sugar, but thinking traditional white sugar would work fine.
