How to Prepare Cookie Dough Oatmeal Breakfast Bars [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Preheat your oven to 350°F and rub an 8x8-inch pan with coconut oil.
In a large bowl, using an electric hand mixer, beat together the banana, coconut sugar, and agave until they're well mixed.
Add in the oats, powdered peanut butter, oat flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt and stir until everything is well mixed.
Spread the mixture evenly into the bottom of the pan and set it aside.
If you haven't already, remove the skins from the chickpeas by gently rubbing them between your fingers and peeling off the papery thin skin that lifts up.
Add the skinned chickpeas into a small food processor.
Add in all the remaining ingredients, up to the chocolate chips, and blend them until they're smooth and creamy. You'll need to stop and scrape down the sides every so often.
Transfer this to a small bowl and stir in the chocolate chips.
Gently spread the cookie dough evenly on top of the oatmeal base until it's fully covered.
Sprinkle it with extra chocolate chips.
Bake it until the edges are lightly golden brown, about 17-18 minutes.
Let them cool in the pan before slicing.
