Are these vegan lentil blondies healthy?
As with most sweet treats, these blondies should be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
But they do contain some nourishing ingredients offering plenty of health benefits, particularly in comparison to regular shop-bought brownies and blondies!
Lentils aren’t just a great source of protein, they also provide gut healthy fibre and folic acid.
Peanut butter is also a great source of protein, fibre, and vitamins. Opt for a whole nut peanut butter with no added sugar or oil to reap all the health benefits of peanuts.
Maple syrup is high in sugar, but is a more natural source than refined sugars.
