Garbanzo Bean Blondie

I went to a juicery the other day and had this amazing blondie.  I asked them what was in it and the moment they said garbanzo beans and almond butter, I had to try and recreate it.  Beans are something I do not advocate eating if you have not prepared them correctly, which means soaking in an acidic environment first.  Beans are a great source of fiber, and fiber is great for supporting healthy gut bacteria, binding free hormones, and eliminating cholesterol.  So, it can be worth the effort if you decide to prep them!
