Chick pea & date slice

CHICK PEA & DATE SLICE

You will need:

2 cans chick peas
1 cup quick oats 
2 cups pitted dates 
3 tbsp sugar
3/4 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup orange juice or apple sauce
2/3 cup soy or almond milk 
3 tbsp coconut oil
1 1/2 tbsp pure vanilla extract
1 cup dark chocolate chips 

Preheat oven to 180 c, and grease a 25 cm deep round pan.  Combine all dry ingredients (except chocolate) in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, combine all wet ingredients. Put around 1/3 of the dry and 1/3 of the wet ingredients into a food processor and blend until smooth. Place into a separate bowl, and repeat the process twice more with the rest of the ingredients. Stir in the chocolate chips, and pour into the pan. Bake 35-40 minutes then let cool at least 15 minutes before trying to remove it.
