- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- pinch of sea salt

- Add the chickpeas to a blender or food processor with nut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt. Combine until completely smooth. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides.

- Stir in dark chocolate chips.
- Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- Sprinkle more chocolate chips on top (optional).
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (I baked mine for 30 minutes).
- Let cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes.
- Place in the refrigerator for at least an hour, or preferably overnight, to firm up. Slice and enjoy!
