Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a small bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, flax, baking soda and cinnamon. In a large bowl, beat the peanut butter, maple syrup, applesauce, eggs, coconut oil and vanilla.

Stir the flour mixture into the peanut butter mixture. Stir in the oats, cherries and half of the chopped dark chocolate.

Spread the mixture in an 8x8 baking pan coated with cooking spray. Bake for 23-25 minutes until a fork comes out clean. Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting.

In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the rest of the chocolate for approximately 1 minute in the microwave. Using a fork, drizzle the chocolate over the bars.

Refrigerate until the chocolate is set or dig in if you don't mind melted chocolate on your hands. And, really, who minds that?
