Ingredients

1 15- ounce can chickpeas rinsed and drained
1/2 cup 118 mL smooth peanut butter (see notes for options)
1/3 cup coconut sugar see notes for options
2 tablespoons 30 mL water
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/3 cup miniature chocolate chips dairy & grain-free, as needed

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F (180C). Line an 8-inch (20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper (or simply spray or grease).
Place all of the ingredients EXCEPT the chocolate chips in a blender. Process until completely smooth, stoppng to scrape down the sides of the blender several times.
Spread the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle with the chocolate chips.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 24 minutes until the surface appears dry and the edges are beginning to turn golden brown (do not overbake).
Cool completley in pan and then cut into squares or bars.

Notes

Peanut Butter Alternatives: An equal amount of smooth almond butter, cashew butter, tahini or my DIY Sunflower Seed Butter can be used in place of the peanut butter.

Coconut Sugar Options: An equal amount of brown sugar or 1:1 sugar replacement (suitable for baking) can be used in place of the coconut sugar.
