Chewy Chickpea Bars (Decadent and Sweet)

Author Notes

Chickpeas and Tahini are not just for hummus. I generally try to avoid flour as much as I can and since I don’t eat dairy or sugar, it’s almost impossible to find a dessert I can eat. So, I’ve learned to make my own decadent and sweet treats, my way. Let me introduce you to these Chewy Chickpea Bars; gluten-free, flourless, sugar-free and vegan. They are moist, chewy and unbelievable nutritious. They are easy to make and so delicious that no one will ever believe they’re healthy! The perfect guilt-free sweet treat! I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.


Note: Since I don’t eat sugar, 3 tablespoons of Maple Syrup is more than enough for my palette. If you prefer things on the sweeter side, you can add up to 2 additional tablespoons of Maple Syrup, but reduce the rice milk accordingly as you don’t want a runny batter. In place of rice milk, you can use any other non dairy milk to keep it vegan, but I generally prefer rice milk as it is ligher than almond milk or soy milk. —Nissrine @ Harmony à la Carte
