THE RECIPE

INGREDIENTS

1 15 oz can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), rinsed and drained
½ cup peanut butter
¼ cup honey can substitute maple syrup for a vegan option
¼ cup coconut sugar
1 TBS almond milk
2 tsp vanilla
½ tsp sea salt
½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp baking soda
½ cup chocolate chips
Extra sea salt & chocolate chips for the top

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8" or 9" glass baking pan and set aside.
Put all ingredients except for chocolate chips into your blender (Vitamix) or food processor. I highly recommend a great blender like the Vitamix so you get a perfectly smooth consistency.
Blend until creamy and smooth.
Once smooth, add chocolate chips and mix by hand.
Pour mixture into your prepared pan and spread out evenly.
Sprinkle a few more chocolate chips and sea salt on top.
Bake in your preheated oven for 20-30 mintues until the edges just pull away from the pan, the top is set and slightly golden brown.
Let cool for at least 15 minutes, then enjoy!
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. You can eat them cold or warm in the microwave for 15 seconds to regain the fresh-from-the-oven deliciousness!
