Chickpea Bars
Similar to my chocolate chip banana bars and chickpea cake, these bars are all I’ve been craving for about a week. I love that they have so many good-for-you ingredients in them and give me that bite of something sweet I want after a savory meal. I make a pan of them early in the week, then leave them out on the counter to cut pieces out of for a quick snack. You can’t get better than that!
