Looking for a kid-approved snack that’s as easy as it is delicious to make? These FAILSAFE/RPAH Elimination Diet friendly chickpea oat bars are exactly that. Great for breakfast on-the-go, lunch box treats, or late night snacking.
- 1 (15 oz) can chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
- 1 cup oat flour (or 1 cup of rolled oats ground into a fine powder)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup carob chips* (optional)
Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C. Line a 7x11 glass baking dish with parchment paper and spray with safe oil.
Combine all ingredients except carob chips into a food processor and blend until smooth. Fold in carob chips by hand.
Pour batter into prepared baking dish and transfer to the oven. Cook for 30-35 minutes or until edges turn golden brown. Allow to cool completely before cutting into squares.

*The only place I’ve found carob chips in the United States is online. Most varieties contain coconut sugar or oil, so make sure to read ingredients. The brand I use does contain palm kernel oil and soy lecithin, so make sure that you can tolerate those ingredients before buying.
This recipe is gluten free, dairy free, nightshade free, soy free (if not using the carob chips), and corn free. It is FAILSAFE friendly and safe for the strict phase of the RPAH Elimination Diet.
