Calories 280kcal
Ingredients
- 1 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 2 large eggs
- 2/3 cup dark brown sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup plain gluten-free oats, uncooked
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/3 cup gluten-free semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350˚F. Coat an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray.
- Place drained chickpeas and oil in large food processor. Process until smooth, about 45 seconds to 1 minute. Add the eggs, brown sugar, and vanilla and process for another 45 seconds.
- Add the oats, baking powder, and salt and blend for another minute or so. (The oatmeal won't completely break down, and that's OK.)
- Stir the walnuts and chocolate chips into the batter and pour into the pan.
- Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes before cutting.
