Ingredients
- 14oz can chickpeas, strained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup peanut butter, almond butter or cashew butter
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/3 cup chocolate chips
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Grease an 8 x 8-inch baking pan with butter or coconut oil and set aside. You can use a 9 x 9-inch baking pan, however, your squares will be a little short in height.
- In a food processor or blender, combine all of the ingredients (except the chocolate chips) and blend until well combined and a thick and sticky batter forms.
- Once blended, gently fold in chocolate chips until evenly incorporated in the batter.
- Pour the batter into the baking pan and use a spatula to spread out the batter evenly across the pan.
- Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown on top and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Once cooked, allow the gluten-free chocolate chip squares to cool completely before slicing into 9 pieces.
- Store in an air-tight container for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for several months.
