# What You Need:
→ Legumes
01 - 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
→ Nut and Seed Butter
02 - 1/3 cup natural almond butter or peanut butter
→ Sweetener
03 - 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
→ Flavorings
04 - 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
05 - 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
→ Flour
06 - 1/3 cup oat flour, certified gluten-free
→ Chocolate
07 - 1/3 cup vegan dark chocolate chips
# Directions:
01 - In a food processor, combine the drained chickpeas, almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the processor as needed.
02 - Add the oat flour to the mixture and process again until fully combined and a uniform dough forms.
03 - Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl. Using a spatula, gently fold in the dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
04 - Scoop out heaping tablespoons of dough and roll into balls between your palms until smooth and compact.
05 - Place the bites on a parchment-lined tray. Serve immediately at room temperature or refrigerate for 30 minutes for a firmer texture. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
