Flourless Chocolate Chip Chickpea Blondies with Sea Salt

• Olive Oil Cooking Spray
• 1 can (15 Oz. Size) Chickpeas, Rinsed And Drained
• 1/2 cups All Natural Peanut Butter (or Almond Butter)
• 13 cups Pure Maple Syrup Or Agave Nectar (you Can Also Use Honey If You're Not Vegan)
• 2 teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract (gluten-free If Desired)
• 1/2 teaspoons Salt
• 1/4 teaspoons Aluminum Free Baking Powder
• 1/4 teaspoons Baking Soda
• 13 cups Vegan (or Regular) Chocolate Chips, Plus 2 Tablespoons, Divided
• Sea Salt For Sprinkling

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and spray an 8x8 inch pan with nonstick olive oil cooking spray.
2. In a food processor, add all ingredients except chocolate chips and process until batter is smooth.
3. Fold in 1/3 cup of chocolate chips, I like to use dark chocolate because it has less sugar but its up to you.
4. Note: Batter will be thick and super delicious, so you could actually just eat it on its own!
5. Spread batter evenly in prepared pan then sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips on top.
6. (The batter may stick to your spatula, so I like to spray my spatula with nonstick cooking spray first.)
7. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean and edges are a tiny bit brown.
8. The batter may look underdone, but you dont want them to dry out!
9. Cool pan for 20 minutes on wire rack.
10. Sprinkle with sea salt then cut into 16 squares.
11. Notes: Adding an egg to the batter will make it more cake-like, but not vegan.
12. You can use your favorite nut butter, just make sure its all natural.
13. Feel free to add in other things according to your dietary needs like nuts, dried fruit, or other types of chocolate.
