Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Chickpea Blondies

0 Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line with parchment paper or spray an 8×8 baking dish. You can also use a 9×5 loaf pan.
1 In a food processor (or high speed blender), add all ingredients except chocolate chips and process until batter is smooth, similar consistency to hummus.
2 Stir in 1/2 cup of the dark chocolate chips (reserving a few for the top).
3 Scoop the batter into the lined pan and smooth it out evenly. Lightly press the remaining chocolate chips over the top.
4 Bake for 30 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean if using an 8×8 pan or bake for 60 minutes if using a loaf pan. This will vary with ovens so be patient and wait until the edges are beginning to brown.
5 Cool for 10 minutes in the pan then transfer to a rack for another 30 minutes for them to set. The longer the better, I’d say a couple hours. (I know, it’s so hard to wait that long!)
6 Cut into squares and enjoy!
