Chickpea Bars

Sweet Recipes
Similar to my chocolate chip banana bars and chickpea cake, these bars are all I’ve been craving for about a week. I love that they have so many good-for-you ingredients in them and give me that bite of something sweet I want after a savory meal. I make a pan of them early in the week, then leave them out on the counter to cut pieces out of for a quick snack. You can’t get better than that!
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup oats
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- ½ to ¾ cup full-fat coconut milk
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- ¾ cup dark chocolate chips
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8x8 square pan with parchment paper.
Add all of the ingredients except chocolate chips to a blender and pulse until smooth.
- Pour the batter into the pan and top with chocolate chips.
- Bake for 45 minutes, until the cake is golden and springs back lightly when you push on it.
- Let cool before slicing and store in an airtight container for up to a week.
