Ingredients

• 15 ounces (1 can) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup brown sugar or coconut sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup ground flax
• 1/4 cup peanut butter or almond butter
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips or dairy-free chocolate chips (I use Enjoy Life mini chocolate chips)

Here's how to make them: 

1. Blend all ingredients except chocolate chips in a food processor (not a blender) until very smooth. Mix in chips.
2. Scoop into an 8×8-inch pan that's been greased or lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Sprinkle top with some additional chocolate chips, if desired. 
3. Bake in a preheated 350-degree F oven for about 25 to 30 minutes. They might look a little under-cooked when you take them out of the oven, but don't worry, they'll firm up as they cool. Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
