Ingredients

1 ½ cup chickpeas *see notes is using canned chickpeas
¼ cup peanut butter
3 tbsp oat flour
2-3 tbsp maple syrup or to taste
2 tsp vanilla extract
¼ tsp salt *see notes if using canned chickpeas
¼ cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

Add all ingredients except for the dark chocolate chips to a food processor. Blend until a thick dough is formed. You'll need to pause and scrape the dough from the sides of your food processor a few times during the process until all ingredients are mixed together and a smooth dough is formed. Taste and adjust sweetener if needed.
Remove the dough from food processor to a bowl. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Serve immediately or store in the fridge for up to 1 week.

Notes

*If you're using canned chickpeas (instead of chickpeas prepared from dried beans), use one 15-oz can of chickpeas. Drain and rinse them very well. If the chickpeas had added salt, I'd recommend starting with just 1/8 tsp salt in the recipe. Add up to 1/8 tsp salt more after blending and taste-testing.

Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Store in the freezer for up to 2-3 months.
