Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a 9” x 9” baking pan with parchment paper.
Open the can of garbanzo beans and strain it into a colander. Use a paper towel to pat the garbanzo beans dry. They don’t have to be perfectly dry, but try to remove some moisture.
Add all of the ingredients for the chickpea bars to a food processor and process until a smooth batter forms.
Stir in the chocolate chips until well-incorporated into the batter.
Transfer the chickpea mixture to the parchment-lined cake pan and smooth it into an even layer.
Bake the chickpea bars on the center rack of the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until they are golden-brown. Remove the bars from the oven and allow them to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

*You can replace the peanut butter with sunflower seed butter or almond butter
Store any leftover chickpea bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
