Calories 122 kcal
- 1 can chickpeas rinsed and drained
- 3/4 cup dark chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup nut butter of choice
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- pinch sea salt
Preheat oven to 350°F degrees and line a 9"x 9" with parchment paper.
In a food processor (or high-speed blender), add all ingredients, except chocolate chips, and process until batter is smooth, similar consistency to hummus.
Stir in a one-half cup of the dark chocolate chips.
Scoop the batter into the lined pan and smooth it out evenly. Lightly press the remaining chocolate chips over top.
Bake for 60 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. This will vary with ovens so be patient and wait until the edges are beginning to brown.
Allow to cool (for 10 minutes or so) and cut into 16 squares
