Ingredients
- 1 (15-oz) can garbanzo beans drained and rinsed, see note*
- 1/3 cup unsweetened peanut butter
- 2 Tbsp coconut oil
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup see note**
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, and line an 8" x 8" baking pan with parchment paper.
- Add all of the ingredients for the bars to a blender except for the chocolate. Blend until completely smooth. Stir the chocolate chips/chunks into the batter.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish and smooth into an even layer. Bake on the center rack of the oven for 25 to 35 minutes (mine took 35).
- Allow the bars to sit 1 hour before cutting to help them set up (if you cut them before an hour, they will fall apart very easily). Cut, serve, and enjoy!
