Snickerdoodle Chickpea Cake Recipe

These chickpea bars are so good I’ve already made them twice. If you liked my chickpea bars with chocolate chips or my chickpea cake, go ahead and preheat your oven—you’ll love these. Whenever I make the original chickpea bars, I always leave part of it without chocolate chips for Adi to enjoy, and when I was making these I stirred in a little cinnamon and decided to go chipless for the whole tray. And let me tell you—they’re incredible. Maybe even the best batch I ever made.
