Ingredients

• 2 cans white beans or garbanzo beans (500g total, once drained)

• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 1/2 cup brown sugar or unrefined sugar
• 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

2. Step 2: In a food processor, blend the beans with 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.
3. Step 3: Mix in the chocolate chips by hand, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
4. Step 4: Grease a 9 or 10-inch springform pan and pour the batter into it, spreading evenly.
5. Step 5: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 35 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. Step 6: Let the cookie pie stand at least 10 minutes before removing it from the pan. Serve warm or allow to cool before slicing.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Base Ingredients

• 2 cans white beans or garbanzo beans (500g 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

Sweeteners

• 1 1/2 cup brown sugar or unrefined sugar (or sugar substitute for sugar-free version)

Add-ins

• 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Prepare the beans: Drain and rinse the white beans or garbanzo beans thoroughly to remove any canning liquid and reduce any beany taste.
2. Blend the batter: Add the drained beans, quick oats or almond flour, applesauce or yogurt, oil or nut butter, pure vanilla extract, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar into a food processor. Blend everything very well until you achieve a smooth, homogeneous batter.
3. Add chocolate chips: Remove the batter from the processor and fold in the chocolate chips evenly to distribute them throughout the batter.
4. Prepare baking pan: Grease a 9 or 10-inch springform pan thoroughly to prevent sticking and pour the batter into the pan, spreading it evenly.
5. Bake the cookie pie: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the pan in the oven and bake for about 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the edges are golden brown.
6. Cool and serve: Remove from the oven and let the cookie pie stand for at least 10 minutes before releasing the springform pan. Serve warm for a soft gooey texture or let cool completely for a firmer slice. Store leftovers in an airtight container.

Notes

• Using a food processor yields a smoother and better textured batter compared to using a blender.
• For a sugar-free version, substitute brown sugar with a natural sweetener like erythritol or monk fruit sweetener.
• The recipe works well with either white beans or garbanzo beans; both yield a mild flavor and moist crumb.
• Springform pans are preferred for easy removal of the cookie pie without breaking.
• If desired, you can experiment with different add-ins like nuts or dried fruits.
