PREP TIME: 10 mins 
COOK TIME: 22 mins

TOTAL TIME: 32 mins
SERVINGS: 12 blondies

INGREDIENTS:

●  1/3 cup quick oats
●  1 15 oz can chickpeas (rinsed and drained)
●  1 ripe banana (mashed)
●  1/2 cup peanut butter
●  1/4 cup maple syrup
●  1/2 tsp baking powder
●  1/4 tsp baking soda
●  1/3 cup chocolate chips
 
INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Preheat oven to 350F and grease an 8x8 baking pan.

  2. In a high speed food processor, blend oats until a flour like consistency is formed.

  3. Add all other ingredients except the chocolate chips, and blend until batter is completely smooth.

  4. Fold in the chocolate chips.

  5. Transfer batter to your prepared pan and bake for 20-23 minutes until sides are lightly golden brown. Let cool completely in pan and then slice into bars and enjoy! Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week

 

NOTES:
