Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cans white beans or garbanzo beans (500 g total, once drained)
- 1 cup quick oats or almond flour
- 1/4 cup applesauce or yogurt
- 3 tbsp oil or 1/4 cup nut butter
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cups brown sugar or unrefined sugar
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Drain and rinse beans: Thoroughly drain and rinse the white beans or garbanzo beans to remove excess liquid and any residue, ensuring a smooth batter.
- Blend ingredients: In a food processor, blend the beans, quick oats or almond flour, applesauce or yogurt, oil or nut butter, vanilla extract, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and brown sugar until smooth and well combined.
- Add chocolate chips: Stir in the chocolate chips to the batter gently, making sure they are evenly distributed but not broken up.
- Prepare pan: Grease a 9 or 10-inch springform pan to prevent sticking and pour the batter evenly into the pan.
- Bake: Place the pan in a preheated oven and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 35 minutes, or until the pie is set and a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean.
- Cool and serve: Allow the cookie pie to stand for at least 10 minutes before removing from the pan. Serve warm or let it cool completely to enjoy later.
Notes
- The recipe was adapted from Chickpea Cookie Dough Dip for a novel dessert approach.
- Using a food processor results in a better texture than a blender.
- Storage: Store leftover pie in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
- You can substitute brown sugar for unrefined sugar or a sugar-free alternative if desired.
- Use either quick oats for gluten-friendly or almond flour for a gluten-free option.
