Deep Dish Cookie Pie Recipe

Introduction

Deep Dish Cookie Pie is a delightful twist on the classic cookie, baked into a thick, satisfying pie form. Made with wholesome ingredients like beans and oats, it offers a unique texture and rich flavor that’s perfect for sharing or savoring solo.

A thick slice of chocolate chip cookie pie is being lifted from a larger pie on a white plate set on a white marbled surface. The pie has two main layers: a light golden-brown top layer sprinkled with glossy dark chocolate chips, showing a soft, slightly crumbly texture, and a darker, moist chocolate layer beneath, which looks rich and gooey. The pie's edge is thick, browned, and slightly cracked, revealing a dense interior. The background is softly blurred, putting full focus on the textured, layered pie. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

2 cans white beans or garbanzo beans (500g total, 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 cup brown sugar or unrefined sugar
1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

Step 1: Drain and rinse the beans thoroughly to remove any excess liquid and ensure a smooth batter.
Step 2: In a food processor, blend the beans, oats (or almond flour), applesauce (or yogurt), oil (or nut butter), vanilla extract, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Step 3: Gently fold the chocolate chips into the batter to distribute them evenly.
Step 4: Pour the batter into a greased 9 or 10-inch springform pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Step 5: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 35 minutes, until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out mostly clean.
Step 6: Allow the pie to rest in the pan for at least 10 minutes before carefully removing the springform ring.
Step 7: Serve warm for a gooey treat or let it cool completely for a firmer texture.

Tips & Variations

Using a food processor yields a smoother batter and better texture compared to a blender.
Substitute quick oats with almond flour for a gluten-free version.
Try mixing in nuts or dried fruit for added texture and flavor.
For a sweeter or richer taste, increase the chocolate chips to 1 1/2 cups.

Storage

Store the Deep Dish Cookie Pie in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven before serving to restore its soft texture. It can also be frozen for up to 2 months—thaw overnight in the fridge before warming.
