Baked Chickpea Granola Bar

I needed something filling and low sugar that I could grab as a quick snack. I can wrap these and throw one in my purse to fight the "(h)angry" between meals. They have a nice nutty flavour and are thin and crispy, with a little chew to them. It reminds of the original Kashi bars. I specifically designed these to be low sugar and not very sweet, add more honey if you like.
