Cannellini bean, raspberry and spelt blondies recipe
Cannellini beans seem like an unusual ingredient for a batch of sweet blondies, but blended with nut butter and maple syrup, they give a wonderfully soft and chewy bake that everyone will love. Fresh raspberries and a few dark chocolate chunks help keep things interesting, too.

Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Line an 18 x 24cm baking tin with nonstick baking paper. Put all the ingredients, except the flour, raspberries and chocolate, in a food processor and blitz until smooth.
- Fold in the flour and most of the raspberries, then transfer the mix to the lined tin. Smooth to level. Scatter over the remaining raspberries and the chocolate and bake for 20-25 mins until golden and set.
- Leave to cool completely, then remove from the tin and cut into 18 pieces. The blondies will keep for up to 4 days in an airtight container in the fridge.
