Yes, chickpeas and chocolate is a thing!
These "blondies" are quick and easy to make and can be vegan too, if you like.
Turn on the oven to 180 degrees
In to a food processor put:
2 cans chickpeas or white beans, drained and dried off with a clean tea towels or paper towels.
2/3 cup of maple syrup (rice syrup or honey).
2/3 cup of smooth peanut butter (or almond butter).
2/3 cup of spelt flour or a mix of flour and ground almonds.
2 tsps baking powder and a large pinch of salt.
1 dsp of vanilla
Blend all together until smooth.
Remove the blade and stir in 1/2 cup of chocolate chips- good quality dark chocolate is best.
Spoon in to a small tin lined with baking paper. Sprinkle over a few more chocolate drops and press in to the mix gently
Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and cooked.
Cool well before removing or cutting.
