1 1/2 cups Garbanzo Beans (1 15-oz can, drained and rinsed very well)
•1 tbsp flour
•8 tbsp Vanilla protein powder
•scant 1/4 tsp salt
•1/3 cup agave syrup
•1 tbsp white sugar
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
•3 1/2 tbsp coconut oil
•1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
•14 tsp Almond extract
•1/2 tsp baking powder
•1/3 cup to 2/3 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

: Preheat the oven to 350 F. Combine all ingredients except chips in a high-quality food processor, and blend until absolutely and completely smooth. (A blender works if you absolutely must, but the texture and taste will be much better in a food processor.)

Stir in the chocolate chips. Pour into a greased 8Χ8 square pan.

Optional: sprinkle extra chocolate chips over the top.

Cook the homemade chocolate protein bars 16 minutes.
They will still look underdone when you take them from the oven, but this is okay.

Let cool, then pat down with a pancake spatula. Refrigerate overnight.

The bars will have firmed up and are now ready to cut and eat. Store leftovers in the refrigerator. Makes about 10 bars
