Equipment

  • blender
  • small pot
  • 9 x 9 inch square baking pan

Ingredients

  • 1 can chickpeas drained
  • 2 over ripe bananas
  • 1 cup old fashioned oats
  • ¼ tsp salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°. In a blender add chickpeas, bananas, oats, salt, egg, and vanilla extract and blend until it forms a smooth consistency.

Can you freeze chickpea brownies?
