    My daughter made something very similar, as as skeptical as i was, I tried one. It was absolutely delicious! I am not a huge fan of chocolate, so we just tried a garbanzo bean blondie - using brown sugar, maple-peanut butter, vanilla, and choco chips. Unfortunately our oven picked that time to stop working, so it didn't get baked. But it was delicious anyway!

    We used maple peanut butter instead of the almond butter, didn't use the oats (but WILL next time!) and used bran instead of the flax meal. Also, don't try in a normal blender. Use a food processor!
