Ingredients
Scale
Main 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
- Prepare Beans: Drain and rinse the white beans or garbanzo beans very well to remove excess liquid and ensure a smooth texture in the pie.
- Blend Batter: In a food processor, combine the drained beans with quick oats or almond flour, applesauce or yogurt, oil or nut butter, vanilla extract, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and brown sugar or unrefined sugar. Blend thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Stir in the chocolate chips gently into the blended batter to distribute them evenly without overmixing.
- Prepare Pan: Grease a 9 or 10-inch springform pan well to prevent sticking and pour in the cookie batter, spreading it evenly.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177 degrees Celsius) and bake the cookie pie for 35 minutes until golden and set in the center.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the pie to stand at least 10 minutes before removing it from the pan. Serve hot or let it cool to room temperature.
Notes
- Using a food processor gives a better texture than a blender for this recipe.
- You can substitute almond flour for oats to make the pie gluten free.
- Applesauce or yogurt can be substituted depending on dietary preference.
- Use unrefined sugar or a sugar-free option to lower sugar content.
- Storage: Store leftover pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
