Ingredients:

1 1/2 cup chickpeas, drained and rinsed

3/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/8 teaspoon baking soda

1/8 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup brown sugar

2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup ground whole wheat flour

1/4 cup butter, softened (or other fat source, such as peanut butter or almond butter)

1/3 cup chocolate, butterscotch, or peanut butter chips

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place all ingredients except for chocolate chips in a mixer and blend until very smooth.

Mix in chips gently by hand.

Place dough into a greased 8×8 pan.

Bake for 35 minutes and remove from oven.

Let cool, cut, and enjoy.

They will look a bit undercooked when you take them out of the oven, as they will firm up when they cool down.
