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.
