Ingredients

Scale

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
1 1/2 cup brown sugar or unrefined sugar
1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

Drain and Rinse Beans: Drain the canned white or garbanzo beans thoroughly and rinse them well under cold water to remove any excess sodium or canning liquid.
Blend Ingredients: Combine the beans, quick oats, applesauce, oil, vanilla extract, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and brown sugar in a food processor. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined, creating the cookie pie batter.
Add Chocolate Chips: Fold the chocolate chips gently into the batter to ensure even distribution throughout the cookie pie.
Prepare Baking Pan: Grease a 9 or 10-inch springform pan to prevent sticking, then pour in the cookie pie batter, smoothing the top evenly.
Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the cookie pie for approximately 35 minutes until set and lightly golden on top.
Cool and Serve: Allow the pie to rest for at least 10 minutes before removing from the pan. Serve hot or let cool to enjoy a firmer texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container.

Notes

Using a food processor yields the best texture; some have used a blender but results may vary.
You can substitute almond flour for oats for a gluten-free option.
Applesauce can be replaced with yogurt to alter moisture and flavor.
Experiment with different types of oils or nut butters to customize richness.
Store the cookie pie in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
