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
- Prepare the beans: Drain and rinse the white beans or garbanzo beans thoroughly to remove any canning liquid and reduce any beany taste.
- 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.
- Add chocolate chips: Remove the batter from the processor and fold in the chocolate chips evenly to distribute them throughout the batter.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
